Are you a part of the plastic money revolution?
In this age of instant gratification, credit cards occupy their
own unique status. Actually, so important has plastic money
become, that money transactions are perceived as almost
impossible without this new age tool. One of the most inviting
features of a credit card is the ease with which it can be used
and the convenience it lends to your monetary transactions.
Instead of carrying that purse full of cash everywhere, you can
now finance all your shopping with just a plastic card. Just
swipe the card and take home all the goodies. There is a huge
array of credit cards available today ranging from affinity and
business to store and bank credit cards.
Just about every bank in the UK offers its consumers credit
cards. In some cases they also give you various benefits like 0%
p.a. interest on balance transfers for the introductory period.
There are various banks that also offer great rewards schemes
like free air miles on their credit cards. If you are worried
about identity thefts, don't be. The new chip and pin technology
offers absolute security to your personal information. Under
this system your card will contain a computer chip that may be
used for identification. Only a PIN and not a signature will
authorise a transaction with this card.
With a whole gamut of banks vying for your business with
lucrative
offers, it can become quite a daunting task to choose
the one credit card that you will ultimately use. Before you
actually sign up with a bank for a credit card, just run a check
on the following points:
What is the time period for which you are offered interest free
credit?
What is your card's credit limit?
Does your card levy an annual fee?
What are the penalty charges if you miss a payment?
Is the interest charged from the statement date or the date of
purchase?
Are there any reward points attached to your credit cards?
It is only natural for you to go in for a credit card that is
issued by the bank that you trust. However, you must not
overlook the fact that if this bank also has your mortgage and
other finances, then you may end up facing far reaching
consequences if you default on your credit card payments.
While credit cards are a great money management tool that have
made borrowing so much more convenient, yet one cannot brush
aside the fact that they also bring with them a huge risk of
creating debts. As is the case with just about every form of
credit, one must always observe caution when using credit cards
for spending.
