Super Helpful Credit Card Site
I had an interesting situation today when my best friend asked me for advice about credit cards. She was looking for good credit card offers for her first ever credit card. As a college kid, I recommended that she look into Student Credit Cards for herself. Of course I was far from the best one to advise her on these issues as I myself didn’t know much about own credit card. All I knew was that I had pay the balance monthly to avoid any charges. And that I was charged a small yearly fee for processing and other things.
I did a google search for “Credit Cards” and found a site called Credit Card Flyers which I liked. The interface was clean and easy on the eyes; obviously professionally designed, which gave me a sense of trust. The site was split up into different sections; and what caught my eyes was the section on credit cards sorted by interest. For instance they listed based on “Cash Rebates”, “Sign-up Bonuses”, “ Save on Gasoline” and “Entertainment Rewards” among other things. Another very useful element was sorting the credit card offers by categories, such as Low Interest Credit Cards, Balance Transfer Cards, Instant Approval Cards, Student Credit Cards, Business Credit Cards, Reward Credit Cards, Cash Back Credit Cards, Prepaid Debit Cards, Secured Credit Cards, and Poor credit cards. This saved us a lot of time as my friend was looking for a low interest card, while I was looking for instant approval. Another friend of mine has bad credit, so I referred her to the site as well.
After a while of browsing we ultimately made up our minds. I was going to ditch my old credit card and get a new card called the “Discover More Card” with a 10.99% APR and instant approval with my excellent credit. This was better than my old card and also had a high rating on Credit Card Flyers.
My friend on the other hand with the “Discover Student Card” which had a 16.99 APR, but other features were perfect for her.
Ultimately, I just wanted to everyone to check out Credit Card Flyers; it saved me a lot of time and money by allowing me to compare credit cards.
