By: Woody Alpern on February 20, 2009 to Credit, Credit Cards, Kids & Money, Tips

When your child goes off to college, many financial decisions must be made, but one consideration that is frequently forgotten is applying for student credit cards. The topic of selecting the best student credit card for your college bound child is one that is often overlooked – and many parents wonder if they should co-sign on a credit card to ease the budget burden for housing, food and spending allowances, tuition, and books.

Obtaining the best student credit card for a college student, who is now considered an adult, can be very beneficial in building up the student’s credit score. In most cases, banks will issue a card to a student who is under the age of 18 only if the parent co-signs on the … continue reading.


Pre-paid Debit Cards – Popular & Smart To Use

By: Woody Alpern on February 18, 2009 to Credit, Credit Cards, Tips

Tired of paying high interest rates on a credit card and unable to qualify for a regular credit card, many people are turning to pre-paid debit cards. Most pre-paid credit cards have the MasterCard or VISA logo on the card, so they look and feel like a regular credit card. The only difference is that no credit is actually issued. The user simply pays money into an account, which typically earns interest, and the prepaid card draws against this balance. They are very easy to qualify for (no income limitations or credit checks are usually required), and the benefits are great.

Most Pre-paid Debit Cards Have Universal Acceptance

Use your card at department stores, gas stations, grocery stores, restaurants, and even places where cash can’t go, … continue reading.


Small Business Credit Cards: The Advantages of Paying Business Expenses with Credit Cards

By: Woody Alpern on February 11, 2009 to Credit, Credit Cards, Tips

Does it make sense for a business owner to use small business credit cards? You bet it does! There are numerous advantages to paying virtually all business expenses with a credit card. Let’s examine a few of these advantages.
Better Terms
Sometimes in business, you have to spend money to make money, and this can mean putting up cash on the front-end before you see any returns. Your options are limited — you can pay the money now in cash, pay with a credit card, or, if available, choose a net 30 term of payment.
Most small business credit cards offer a better interest rate and have fewer annual fee charges than individual cards. Credit card companies typically see a more reliable payment history for businesses than … continue reading.


No Annual Fee Credit Cards

By: Woody Alpern on February 8, 2009 to Credit, Credit Cards, Tips

Today, it is imperative that we carry a credit card. The first filter in shopping for great credit card deals is searching for no annual fee credit cards. This means that the credit card provider does not charge an additional annual user fee simply for the privilege of using the card. In my opinion, this fee is a rip off, and the credit card banks make plenty of money without charging such a fee. So many transactions are much easier to be paid by credit card, e.g. Internet, catalogues, telephone, etc. So, it becomes important that you shop for great credit card deals that are available, and believe me, they vary greatly. Be careful because some no annual fee credit cards will charge a … continue reading.
