Credit Card Q&A

Question

What is the best credit card?

Answer

This is a very common question and there is no one answer for all. With hundreds of different credit cards, it can be difficult to pinpoint the right credit card for you without knowing how you plan to use the card. Whether or not you need to carry a balance, your transaction activities, and your credit score all play important parts in choosing the right card.

If you carry a balance every month, as opposed to paying your balance off each month, then interest rate will likely be more important to you. If you have poor credit, then the best credit card for you will be very different from the best card for someone with excellent credit.

For those reasons, we have attempted to provide a summary of our preferred credit cards based on credit score, rates, features, and member feedback. Our credit card reviews are updated once per month based on changes in the market.

We think it is extremely important for consumers to use the right credit card since it could save you thousands of dollars in fees, interest, and benefits.

Do you recommend credit repair companies? And if so do you have some referals?

I have an American Express card with no limit, but I have to pay off each purchase monthly. Does this help boost my credit score?
