Being a credit cardholder comes with a number of advantages and disadvantages. Not only do you have access to extra cash in cases of emergency, but it also means that you may be saddled with exorbitant credit card interest rates if you don’t pay your balance in full.
The important thing when getting a credit card is making sure that you get the right card for your needs. For instance, you should opt for a card that will be suitable for your needs if you only plan on using your credit card in emergencies. Choose a card with a great rewards programme if you plan to use your card regularly. There are various credit cards from which to choose, such as cash back, travel rewards, zero percent rates, prepaid debt cards, department store cards. Make sure you are clear about how you want to use it before applying.
