Almost everyone over the age of consent (18 or 21) has or wants a credit card nowadays and they are accepted in almost every establishment. There are three main kinds of credit card common in America. The first major sort of credit card is travel and entertainment cards such as American Express or Diners Card. These have to be repaid in full by the end of the month and are liberal on spending limits.

The second major type of credit card is the bank card such as Master Cards, Visa, GM, and Ford cards distributed mostly by the banks. The bank defines the spending limits, which in bank parlance, is known as the credit line and each offers different terms and conditions. Banks offer a choice of payment methods: either pay the balance in full with no interest or pay the minimum or some part of the balance with a finance charge.

The other major kind of card is the retail store card, such as Sears, J.C. Penney, Shell or Mobil. These store cards and those from gas companies, widely known as fuel cards, are only accepted in specific countries. They usually do not carry annual charges. There is a wide variance in the terms and conditions for these cards.

Different types of credit cards offer different options. Some are designed for individual consumers, while others are set up in ways that work best for small business needs. To know what kind of credit card fits your needs, you should review a few options.

How to Select a Credit Card.

Credit cards have become a part of life for most people living in the west. It’s becoming increasingly impossible to avoid them, especially for business men. So, if it is the first time you are thinking to enter into the world of plastic money, here are some of the basic things you should look out for.

First, compare the interest charged by all the credit cards you are interested in. While the rate will not stay fixed for ever, it’s always best for novices to apply for the one charging the least interest.

Read the fine print carefully, especially on the other charges that can be applied, like late-payment fees, annual fees, and whether there is a grace period which is normally given before the finance charges are applied.

Decide what spending limit is most appropriate for a person of your income. Also the fewer credit cards you have, the better placed you are to understand your spending.

You ought to compare the services such as the cash back incentives, guarantees, rebates and such like and check whether the card is accepted broadly enough to fit in with your needs.

You will help yourself by acquainting yourself with the following terms: 1] Annual Percentage Rate: this is the annual cost of the credit. 2] Finance Charges: these are the total charges involving the transaction. 3] Period of Grace: This is the period of time the card issuer allows you before they begin charging you interest on new purchases. (NB: not all credit card issuers offer a grace period).
