Are
there any good cards? |
When choosing a credit card there are many factors to take into consideration. There are good cards depending on which factors are your top priority. Here is an overview of the main factors. Interest Rate: Are you going to be able to pay off your entire credit card balance each month? If yes, then you should be more concerned with the perks or add-ons that banks offer. Interest rate will be secondary because you will not be carrying a balance. Some of the extras include cashback offers, flying mileage and points. Financial advisors suggest you never completely loose sight of the interest rate. You never know when you may lose your job or are otherwise unable to pay the balance. American Express offers several cards depending on what benefit interests you. The American Express Nectar Card gives Nectar points, the American Express British Airways Card gives BA miles and the American Express Platinum Card offers money back incentives as well as low APRs. Interest Free Period:
Look for a 0% APR for a period of time.
You can find a card that allows 0% transfers from other credit
cards as well as 0% APR on new purchases for a time period.
The best deal out there right now for a credit card that offers
0% APR for both transfer balances and new purchases for 6 months as well
as travel points with a 15.9% APR is the Morgan Stanley Buy and Fly Card.
If you don’t care about the bonus points, there are two good credit
card offers with 0% APR for 6 months for both transfers and purchases
with a 14.9% APR. Both the
Cooperative Bank Platinum Credit Card and the HSBC credit card have these
offers. Both are reputable credit card companies.
The interest free period
can vary greatly between card companies.
You can’t beat the Halifax One Credit Card!
It offers a 12 month, 0% APR on balance transfers and a low 15.9%
APR., making this the best deal out there for 0% transfer cards.
The Barclaycard Platinum Credit Card also offers 0% for 12 months
on transfers, but has a slightly higher 17.9% APR.
Again, these are both highly regarded credit card companies. |
