Give me some credit!

August 20th, 2008 - Posted by Caitlin

Do you spend money? Do you shop online? Do you make hotel reservations? If so, chances are you have a credit card. But with so many credit card choices available, it can be nearly impossible to know which one is best for you. There are low APR credit cards, there are balance transfer credit cards, and of course there are credit cards that offer you almost every type of reward you can imagine. Not to mention how difficult it can be to understand the different credit card terms.

Today we are launching reviews and comparisons of several different types of credit cards, including gas rewards cards, cash rewards cards, travel rewards cards, and points rewards cards. These comparisons should make it easier to compare the terms of different credit cards and figure out which is best for your unique financial situation. We have also created a FAQ that should help readers understand their credit card terms and learn how to use their credit responsibly.

In the near future we will be expanding our new credit card guide to include other types of credit cards. In the meantime, if you are interested in rewards cards, check out our new reviews and comparisons.
