Finding the Best Rewards Credit Card For You

Credit card accounts have become a huge part of the average people lifestyle. One thing that the average consumer has in common with any other consumer is they generally have a credit card in their wallet. However, there is no better feeling then when Americans first build their credit to a point where they will qualify for rewards credit card accounts. This point not only means that interest rates will go down and these consumers are more financially stable than before, it also means they will get rewards when using charge card accounts. But, when Americans first start looking for rewards credit cards, what should they look for?

The first thing that consumers should look at when it comes to rewards charge card accounts is the interest rate associated with the account. Unfortunately, some rewards charge cards increase the annual percentage rate to cover the expense of the rewards. We don't want these cards! Discover is usually a pretty decent bank when it comes to providing rewards charge cards. Make a list of all the rewards cards that you would agree with the APRs on.

Once Americans have their list of potential future charge cards, it's time to start looking at the rewards. Rewards cards are generally separated into categories for Americans to easily choose the best ones. These categories are generally:

Cash Back Rewards: Cash back rewards credit cards offer consumers points towards cash for each purchase made using the credit card account. When the Americans have enough points to redeem cash, they cash out and the credit card issuer will send out a check in most cases! Cash back rewards are generally a lower value than most other types of rewards so, I don't usually recommend cash back cards.

Sky Miles Rewards: Another great type of reward is sky miles. Sky miles rewards are more for people who travel often. Each time Americans swipe their sky miles charge card, they will earn points that may be redeemed in the future for airfare, hotel reservations, and other travel benefits.

Flexible Rewards: Some rewards credit cards are a mixture of multiple options. Consumers can use these reward points for flights, cash, hotels, gift cards and more! For the people that don't know what type of charge card account to choose, this is usually the best option!

No matter which rewards card you choose, it's important that it is one that you will enjoy the rewards on. Remember you worked for this. You got good credit, you did it, now have fun with it. However, it is always important to continue using credit card accounts responsibly. Improper use of charge cards (rewards or otherwise) can cause people severe financial hardship even leading to bankruptcy!
