Lower debt through Credit Cards

Posted By: Robert Thomson | Posted On: 2008-08-25 | Article ID: 88463

Face it folks we live in a credit influenced society and for good reason. When you have a credit card around you can buy things quickly on the premise that you will pay them back tomorrow. People in the last 25 years have been borrowing more so now then ever before in our history. The key to which credit card you choose is in the disclosure.

Make sure you read the credit card application thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. Check the small words for fees that are associated with anything activating the credit card to fees that are associated with closing the credit card at a later date. So many people over look the small print now and almost always ending up paying from their wallet at a later date. Dont be one of those people.

APR or annual percentage rate is another very important thing to look at when getting a new credit card activated.
Some Credit card companies offer special rates at special times of the year or during times of financial hardships. Make sure that this offer is extended for the rate of time that you have the credit card for and not a unique offer that is good for three months then your APR is doubled for the duration of the term.

One of the top uses of credit cards (and one that few people use them for) is to lower debt or monthly payments that you currently have on your cards. You can do this by checking the yearly percentage rate of your recent credit cards to the APR's of new credit cards.

If for example, your now paying 14% a year interest on the sum balance of all of your credit cards then you can simply do a transfer from your old credit card to a recent one that your interested in getting. This is not only ok to do but its really encouraged by new credit companies as they are so eager for your business that they will usually give you an incentive to move your debt over to them.

Now that you have completed the transfer from credit card A to credit card B you find that your APR has been cut down from 14% interest to around almost 11% interest which makes your monthly payments on your credit card debts that much lower and easier to pay off. Its a nice little trick that newbies dont usually know about but one that could save them many years of financial burden off their lives

So as you know my many years of having credit cards has made me a little wiser in the little methods that i have saved myself money by owning them.
Hopefully you have also found this article useful enough that it will help you save on your credit card bills. If one person has been helped through this article then i have done my fellow credit card holders some justice.
Good luck guys , over and out.
