Know How to Get the Best Credit Card Deal

Getting your own credit card is not as easy as you may think. Applying for a credit card account needs a lot of thinking.

Before marching down to your credit card agent, ask yourself some questions like do you want to pay for the credit every month or carry a balance instead? The type of credit line limit is also to be taken into consideration. Credit cards offer a lot of benefit packages, think of the package that would suit your needs.

Hector Milla Editor of the 'Best Credit Card Deals' website -- http://www.bestcreditcardsdeals.net -- pointed out;

'…If you want to carry on a balance, look for the credit card that offers the best interest rate or the annual fee offer. However, if you intend to pay for the credit every month, then look on the one that offers the lowest interest rate…'

Credit limit determines how far you can go with your card. Think of the lowest limit that would fit your needs, not your lifestyle. Remember it's supposed to be for necessity and not for luxury. Adding 30% to the limit you agreed on. This will maximize the value of the card. Meaning, you can use the card on a normal basis and still have enough value if an emergency arises.

Credit card companies offer tremendous bonuses on their cards. If you wanted to sign up for these packages, think, think, and think! Will they really be of help to you or are they just there to make your credit life miserable?

Of course the table is laden with different courses. You are only to get one so don't rush into one that looks good. You always have the liberty of comparing one credit card to another.

Always choose the credit card that offers the lowest annual percentage rate (APR). APR's could either be a 'fixed' or a 'variable' rate. Fixed rates do not change as the name implies but is higher. Variable rates changes depending on the economic trends. This is to be taken into consideration if you're deciding on carrying a balance.

'…Some credit cards offer a grace period of 25 days before they charge the interest on the purchase. But some may not have. Look for those that have one and the longer the grace period, the better the deal…' added H. Milla.

You also have to check on other fees attached to the credit card. These are the penalty rates as well as other charges like over the limit charges and late payment charges.

When choosing a card, always remember to get the one that would best fit your needs and at the same time the best deal you could get out of it.

What are some of the best credit cards for someone to start a credit history?

This person is a student and will graduate soon and wants a card so he can establish credit. Any ideas on a good one for someone who has never had credit?

Answer
Avoid 'gas' and 'retail' credit cards! You'll end up paying extremely high interest rates (23.99%-29.99%) and tons of hidden fees. There's actually a wide variety of options for people to build or improve credit. You can find a complete list of credit cards here:

You'll end up paying higher interest rates and some additional fees with these offers too-- but much less than a retail or gas card.

You could also consider a 'student credit card'. These offers will have higher interest rates-- but less fees than the offers above. You can find a complete list here:

Eventually, with regular on-time payments-- you'll be able to apply for offers with lower APR's and less fees.

Hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!
