I’m looking for a credit card which I can use to do all of my online automatic bill payments for utilities, insurance, etc. Would like to find one with good cashback or other rewards, and no annual fee.
Please NO SPAM. I WILL report you if you spam this question.
It depends on what you consider the best rewards to be. Some like cash back every year. Others want instant access to their rewards. Most cards, unfortunately, require you to earn a certain amount of rewards cash/points before redemption. There are also other considerations like customer service, purchase protection, travel insurance, etc. Not to mention the fact that you have to qualify for the card you want. Here’s some general thoughts.
JD Power rates American Express the #1 credit card issuer for consumer satisfaction. If you can get it, the Blue would fulfill most of your needs. The CostCo True Earnings card also has good rewards if you are already a CostCo member. However, because of AmEx’s higher discount rate, some merchants don’t accept it.
JD Power rates Discover #2, and the Discover More has a pretty decent rewards structure if you track their rotating cashback categories. You can get free cash advances with its cash over feature, so you don’t risk your debit card. But like AmEx, Discover has limited acceptance.
If you don’t like either of those, move on to the Visa/MC family. One of these is probably best for paying utilities and insurance; those types seldom bother to pay AmEx and Discover for the right to accept their cards when everyone has a Visa/MC anyway. Since everyone under the sun issues these cards, it’s kind of hard to whittle it down to one that is "best." Go to Finance Globe and use their reviews to find one that fits your lifestyle and credit profile.
Rewards from credit cards are often used to scam people into getting the credit card and rarely turn out to be as good as they promise. Use credit cards responsibly, and avoid getting a card just for the rewards with advice from the owner of a debt settlement company in this free video on credit cards.

Each and every year, many of us go on vacations. Vacations are a great way to relax, and get away from the everyday pressure of life. Over half of all American families take their vacation between April and September, meaning that they spend a lot of money on travel. Whether it’s international or domestic travel, you can spend a fortune before you actually realize it.
As we all know, traveling with cash or checks isn’t always a wise decision. Renting cars, flying in airplanes, or checking into hotels is a much easier task if you have a credit card. Even though you may decide to use your credit cards for big purchases only, you’ll find that the traveling experience will be a much smoother process.
Unlike cash or checks, credit cards make handling your documents and receipts much easier. If you purchase something, records from that purchase will be made with your credit card manufacturer, which you can always fall back on if something happens. Things can go wrong without notice, so you’ll always want a backup plan or something to have as proof in the event of a disaster. With a credit card, all you need to do is look back at your statement and you’ll find everything that you purchased in one easy to find location.
Credit cards are also much easier to handle and keep track of than cash. If you decide to go to a theme park or a resort, you’ll find that cash can be a bit bulky to handle. Carrying a large amount of cash can be hard to keep track of, even though it isn’t recommended. Credit cards use up less space, and you can keep them in your pocket. When you need to pay for something, you don’t need to count through your cash, simply hand over your credit card and sign your receipt.
If you don’t have any credit cards, you can always get them for vacation purposes only. There are many benefits to having credit cards, besides the fact of them being easier to keep track of. There are many different credit cards out there to choose from, including those that will give you cash back or rewards when you make a purchase. Cash back is normally a small percentage of what you spend, and is given to you at the end of the month.
Some credit cards will give you reward points for every dollar you spend, which can be redeemed with several merchants offering a variety of products. Although cash back is always a great thing, many people find reward cards to be just as good. You can enjoy your vacation, buy just about anything you want, and know that the money you spend will help you to buy other things that you may need when your vacation is over. Actually, can you think of this as having your cake and eating it to.
All in all, credit cards can make your vacation easier than ever before. You can earn rewards and cash back with purchases you make using your card. Although you may think cash is the preferred way to go, there are several merchants who actually prefer credit cards. They are more professional, and easier for you to handle than cash or checks. They are easy to obtain as well, providing you have good credit. If you don’t have a credit card, you should look into getting one before you take your next vacation. All you need to do is look for your favorite company online and apply through their website – you’ll normally receive a response in a matter of minutes.

Someone who is always on the move could definitely use information on Airline Credit Cards. The frequent flier is forever facing issues of time and money. This Credit Card helps you with the plans and funds and is issued by a number of banks and card issuers. These cards make your travel easier, and come handy in case you need some extra cash.
Each credit card issuer like American Express, Visa or Master Card offers a different plan on airline credit card, and you have to do the requisite research before choosing the one tailor-made for your requirement. The reward plans, bonuses, APR are all to be considered before making the choice.
An Airline Credit Card offers points which you can collect on using the cards. The collected points can later be exchanged for air miles, travel insurance, cruises, hotel booking or even renting cars. You should always be on the lookout for the all the points you can collect. The Airline Credit Cards are either of a particular airline, or one with flexible rewards. On choosing the former you can enjoy the rewards only if you stick to your airline, which becomes very convenient if you are staying near the airport that your airline dominates. Also you could pick the airline your company recommends if your job demands frequent flying.
Also the card allows you to earn points by making purchases even though you are not traveling. Though the cards are a good idea for one who flies a lot, carrying a balance is not advisable due to high rate of interests. To make a decision in favor of an Airline Credit Card you shall have to take all those options regarding travel and prices into consideration that may bring you either profit or loss, and for this you have to seriously study all the available offers.
You may find attractive offers like bonus miles when you use the card for the first time, but it is necessary to keep in mind certain aspects like the high annual fee involved, fees for overseas transactions or balance transfers. In case you choose a card that charges low annual fee, and by virtue of the free bonus points granted just for opening the account you can easily earn a free flight, you should be on the look out for other drawbacks like high interest rate that scales every year, or few destination options. If your job requires you to travel to a specific destination time and again, the fact that your preferred airline has limited destinations need not concern you.
There are Airlines that offer you rewards with one or more partners. Reward travel may come with black out dates in case of certain airlines, and certain other airlines may keep an earning limit, despite which an Airline Credit Card will help you if you can use it prudently.
Airline Credit Cards provide programs to collect airline mileage credit while using the credit card, thereby making it easier for the frequent flier, and helping him save money.

Some card companies offer low interest credit cards as a means of attracting customers, but believe it or not, these cards aren’t perfect for every person. It comes down to how you use your cards that will determine which is best for you.
Low interest cards may be appropriate for someone who tends to carry a balance from month to month. For these people, the lower interest rate will reduce the amount of finance charges they pay. Keep in mind, however, that some cards charge a very high annual fee in order to cover up for the low interest making it a must for you read disclosures carefully.
Also, the low interest rate may end if you make a late payment, either on the card itself or on another card. This “universal default” clause, where your rate on one card goes up if you’re late on another, unrelated payment, has come under fire recently, but it’s still in many contracts. If you sign one of those contracts, you could find yourself paying the default interest rate—which can be s high as 30%—instead of the advertised low rate. Your only way out at that point may be to close the account and find another low rate card, if you can.
Low rate cards typically do not offer any “extras”, like air miles, cash back, insurance, or rewards points. If those are important to you, you’ll want to compare offers to see which ones provide the features that matter most to you. Affinity cards that can benefit your alma mater or favorite charity are also available. However, you need to check the annual fees as well as the interest rates. Giving to charity while needing a loan to make your credit card payment doesn’t make much sense.
If you don’t carry a balance every month, a low rate card won’t save you much money. You’ll want to compare credit cards on the basis of annual fees, grace period (the time between when the statement is prepared and when the payment is due), affinity, or rewards.
However, there are times when a really low interest card makes sense. Can you open one of these cards and invest the money at a higher rate? Zero-percent cards can make sense in this instance — if the credit card checks are also charged at zero percent. Read the fine print. Purchases or investments made with the checks sent along with your card are not always at the same interest rate as those made with the plastic itself. And don’t forget, you still need to make the minimum monthly payments on time until you cash in your investment and pay off the credit card.
Low interest credit cards can be quite beneficial for two-thirds of Americans who carry balances. They can utilize that low rate to reduce the total interest charges paid while trying to clear the principal balance.
As things like interest rates can change, you have to regularly compare credit cards and look for the one that would suit your present situation. A number of card issuers operate today, and as long as youy payments are on time, you have unlimited options should you want to change.
