How to choose the best credit cards


Choosing the best credit card is the first step to build up a strong credit history, which will save you a lot of money for the future. Technically speaking, you will earn money by choosing the best credit card that fits your need.

Like everyone knows, recently, the economy is getting terribly bad, and unemployment rate is unbelievably high.
Let's choose a better credit card to survive from this terrible economic situation and earn free money by using the card wisely.

Here are two things you should remember in order to choose best credit cards.

First, figure out what you really want from credit cards.
Do you want rewards or credit power with low interest?

The APRs of reward credit cards are generally very high. So, if you think you can't pay the balance in full every month, DO NOT have reward credit cards.
You will pay more and more interests than you think.
However, if you are really able to pay the balance in full every month, this type of credit cards will be your cash cow for the future.

Second, if you think you don't have fairly good credit history, DO NOT APPLY FOR major credit cards until you finally get a credit card.
Rejection from credit card companies means the worst scenario that drops your credit scores.

Instead, make a secured credit card and use it for about a year. You will be offered very good deals from major credit card companies.

Helpful posting!!!
