Answer Which credit card is more profitable to use, cash back credit cards, airline mileage credit cards or reward point credit cards. Which category is the best and of that category which credit card is the best?
Answer:
Choosing the right of the three credit card types depends on your spending patterns and priorities. You should know your wishes pretty well. If you strive for cash and you normally shop at lots of different merchants (including also restaurants, gas stations and drug stores), then a cash back credit card deal is a perfect variant for you. In case your priority is travel and you spend much time in a plane, get yourself an airlines credit card as you will benefit from it most. See the point. Why get a cash back card if you are not going to use it to fill up your car or buy other things and services of no interest to you? Then, if you are planning to use plastic for a wide variety of items and do not want to be limited in the choice of merchants, think of applying for a reward points credit card. This type card will reward you points on every purchase and you can redeem the points for various merchandise and services. Each credit card has its specific terms and conditions, so take time to see all details to know which deal will save you most money.

Answer I Want to build up my credit and I keep getting denied and I'm tring to find specific cerdit card for people who have bad cerdit and won't get denied.
Answer:
It is great that you are eager to build your credit! In fact, it is easier than most people think, because banks introduce a range of credit card offers for limited credit history today. Probably, you keep getting denied because you apply for cards you are not eligible for… To prevent denials, you can apply for a guaranteed approval credit card deal. It means that the bank will approve any applications for this product. A good example of plastics with guaranteed approval is First PREMIER Centennial Gold MasterCard which requires no checking account and provides instant approval. First PREMIER bank also provides Visa cards of this type.

Answer do i have to join a credit angency to get my credit score
Answer:
If you want to get your credit score, you should contact a credit reporting agency or, better, all the major agencies. Your credit record is usually established by a credit bureau if you get a credit card or a loan in a bank. Actually, you do not have to get any 'membership' in a credit bureau; you just should make sure your bank reports to the major agencies. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumers have a right to obtain a free credit report once a year. If you address to a credit reporting agency for more credit reports, you will have to pay a fee.

Answer I have 4 credit cards at diffent APR-from 9.90% to 20.99%. All of my cards are paid up to date. I would like to know if I can get a low rate credit card to pay off all of my cards about $10,500. I have bad to fair credit. Most credit cards will not give me that amount on a credit card.
Answer:
Balance transfer credit cards usually allow you to transfer balances from up to 4 credit cards. Unfortunately, no credit card companies with which our site co-operates offer balance transfer plastics for limited credit. Besides, the balance you are going to transfer is rather high even for a good credit card deal. You say you pay off your cards on time - that's great! If you go on keeping to this habit and reduce debt on all your current plastics, you will be able to build flawless credit history and be eligible for beneficial credit cards later on. Good luck!

Answer Please help me buy choosing the best credit card for me i know my credit score
Answer:

Unfortunately, you haven't pointed your credit score, but it's nice that you know your current credit rating. It means that you can qualify for the card that suits your credit profile. It's difficult to pick out one universal card that would meet the requirements of all cardholders. For choosing the best credit card, you need to answer certain questions. First and foremost you should decide what you need this card for. In case you want a low rate card with no annual fee and generous rewards, you can hardly find a better option than More Card by Discover is a smart choice. This fee-free card comes with a 0% Intro APR on balance transfers and purchases, plus it gives you a generous rebate in the most popular categories, including home, gas, restaurants, travel, and more. If you want the best low interest rate card, Platinum Prestige by Capital One will be ideal. An extremely low APR on both purchases and balance transfers makes this card really worthwhile. If you are searching for the right card to pay off a heavy balance, consider Blue from American Express. It gives a fixed low interest rate on balance transfers, and you will have enough time to pay off a heavy balance, if you've got any. So, review all the options and make your choice!

Answer I have excellent credit last I checked I believe I was at a730 fico, but last year fell into hard times with a family emergency and had to use my credit cards to cover the costs. I owe 16,000.00 on my card and I am paying 16.34% apr. I have not missed payments or let my credit drop. I got a promotion recently and make more money so I want to really start paying it off, but the intrest charge is killing me. Is there a card that will let me transfer this full amount for 0%? Whats my best option at this point?
Answer:

First of all, you should check your credit history one more time. A year is a long time and your score could have changed. It is important to get a credit report prior to applying for a card to make sure all the information is correct. Considering the information you have provided, you still have good credit.

Most likely you will not be able to transfer $16,000 to one card. The best option for you will be to apply for several credit cards with favorable terms. Here are the cards that are great for balance transfer.

Discover® Card. More Card. It gives you 0% APR on balance transfer for up to 12 months. The balance transfer fee rate is 3% of the amount transferred ($75 maximum). It also has 0%APR on purchases for up to 6 months. This is a cash back card for consumers with good/excellent credit.

American Express. Blue from American Express®. This card has 4.99% APR on balance transfer till you pay it off. That will be three times lower than what you have right now. Maximum transfer fee is $99. This card offers you a fee-free rewards program and 0% APR for purchases during the intro period.

Chase Bank. Platinum Visa®. This is another card with 0% APR on balance transfer for up to 12 months. Maximum transaction fee is $75. There is no annual fee. However, unlike the card mentioned above it is not a rewards card.

Compare the offers and apply for the one you like the most. Do not send applications for all the three cards at the same time. Let some time pass after your first approval and then apply for a new card. Eventually, you will be able to transfer your balance.

Answer Ihave been trying to apply for a credit card. However a lot of the cards for bad or poor credit have so many start fees and pthe fees involved. By the time you recieve the card, there's only about $70 on it. Where i live I was approved on my credit rating, so I don't inderstand why I can't get a descent card without a lot of fes involved, I live in a upscle neighborhood and highrise. it's a very exclusive. So why does it seem I am having a difficult time getting a credit card.
I also thought that the consumer credit agencys were changing the way they do credit checks,because a lot of folks were being denied credit. can you tell me the best cards to be looking for, besides the ones that have gigantic fees and just keep you in debt a lot longer.
Answer:

As a matter of fact, all credit card offers for bad/poor credit rating customers available today come with a whole heap of various fees. Applicants whose credit has been damaged by late or missed credit card payments will hardly be able to find a single card without all those set-up fees, annual charges and various penalty fees. They are inevitable.

However, customers whose credit is not bad but limited, meaning that they are just building their credit history and have had no late or missed payments in their credit report, can find some credit cards that charge no fees or just moderate fees.

So, if you are building credit history and want to do it without extra expenses, have a look at Capital One Standard Platinum (no set up fees and no annual fees) or Capital One Classic Platinum (moderate annual fees and no set up fees).

You may also consider applying for Capital One Platinum-Visa which charges no set up fees but a bit higher annual fee than the other two. But it offers a low APR on purchases.

Remember that the absence of fees on these credit cards for limited credit history does not mean that they are the cheapest deals. You may be charged higher interest rates instead of the fees. So, to minimize expenses associated with the use of the credit cards, try to pay your balances in full each month and pay no interest for them.

Thus, you will really benefit from the no annual and no set-up fees bonus on these cards.

Answer How do I know what kind of credit card to apply for that will not hurt my credit. I am looking for a credit card with low to 0 interest. I need one for emercency use only. I need one for low income.
Answer:

Well, the type of a credit card you will qualify for is determined by not only the level of your income but also your credit rating. Yes, it is very important that the issuer gets proof of your ability to pay but the first thing they will want to look at is your credit score, your current and past debts and the status of your payments.

So, in order to know what credit card you can apply for and get approved, it makes sense to examine your credit report and learn your credit score number. Remember, if you request for a card you do not qualify for and get denied, it will pull your scores down.

On our part, we can offer several credit cards with low interest rates that differ from each other by their credit rating requirements.

If you have a good or excellent credit score, you can apply for Citi® Platinum Select® Card® which interest may vary depending on your creditworthiness and income but which is still low enough to save you money on every day purchases.

Now, if you're an average credit customer who is building credit history and has no late or missed payments with a previous issuer, your variant may be Capital One Classic Platinum credit card which is also a low rate deal. Also, your income will count for the bank but if the bank accepts it, you'll be approved.

In case your credit is bad, a lowest rate variant for you would be Centennial MasterCard®/Visa from First PREMIER Bank, a credit card for people improving their credit damaged by late payments or defaults.

So, choose the right credit card based on your credit rating and apply online to have some of the lowest APRs on the market.

Answer What kind of credit card balances can be transferred? I have a Sears master card and a Sears department Store card and want to transfer both to a new low apr or my current Amex card.
Answer:

In fact, you are allowed to transfer balances from both, your credit card and department store card and their providers will not prohibit you from doing that. The question is which card you will be able to transfer balances onto and how much you will pay for that.

As a rule, you are able to transfer balances from one or two cards onto a single credit card if the credit limit of the latter allows you to. The interest you will pay on the balance transferred will depend on the status of your credit rating. The better your credit history is, the lower APR you'll be charged.

Are you an excellent credit customer? Then, you may transfer balances onto More Card-Clear from Discover Company, which is not only a low rate but also a good rewards credit card. Or you may consider applying for Platinum Visa® from Chase Bank, also a low APR balance transfer card for good credit.

In case your credit rating is good, you may choose to apply for Capital One Platinum Prestige which balance transfer APR is also low enough to save on repaying your debts.

Compare all the features and requirements on these balance transfer credit cards and apply for the card most suitable for your credit and paying capacities.
