Choosing the best credit card for how you spend
Playing credit card roulette has become a sport for deal seekers, as issuers pile on the incentives. “The competition is intense; the rewards just keep getting better,” said Lisa Gerstner of Kiplinger.com and the Kiplinger Letter. “The six largest credit card issuers are spending twice as much on card rewards as they did in 2010.”
Reading Gerstner’s report and another in the September issue of Consumer Reports might be dizzying.
Both suggest there is no easy way to determine “the best card.” Marketers shape cards to appeal to special interests and habits.
