High Limit Credit Cards

Jun 24th, 2008 by Addy | 0

There are many high limit credit cards available right now over the net. I recently applied for a Bank of America card and was given a $5,000 limit. I was then able to consolidate my other cards into that one which brought my credit score up several points. The balances that I transferred were on an introductory offer where I wasn’t even required to pay interest until next year so I saved hundreds of dollars just by doing that transaction. Then since my credit score had gone up I applied, (online again) for a one click balance increase request and was given another $5,000 that I needed to pay business expenses. The increase was given without any hassle from bank accountants and I wasn’t bothered with any other offers. So now my credit score is higher than it has ever been and I have put much more experience on my history that will help when it’s time to apply for a larger loan.

Practical Uses For Prepaid Credit Cards

Jun 21st, 2008 by Addy | 0

Prepaid cards are one of the newest tools to pay employees. They are a secure, cost-effective and convenient way to pay wages, and they often get payments to employees faster than by checks by mail.

Currently they are being used in the healthcare industry for medicare payments, and by insurance companies for a broad range of benefit payments. They are well-designed for infrequent, irregular payments to pay vendors who provide service periodically. As an example, airlines are starting to issue them to customers in compensation for delayed or cancelled flights and lost luggage. Other companies are mitigating losses incurred due to the misuse of T&E card programs. By giving infrequent travelers prepaid cards (with a pre-set balance), companies reduce the risk of internal and external fraud, and the associated losses.

Using a Home Equity Loan to Pay Off Credit Cards

Jun 13th, 2008 by Addy | 0

The majority of Americans carry some sort of credit card debt. Unfortunately, many of us carry so much debt at such high interest rates that it becomes difficult to make a difference in the amount we owe, even when we send a payment to the credit card company each month. Falling behind just makes it worse, with late fees and finance charges added on to your next statement- and often a late payment will result in an increase in your interest rate. High interest rates quickly add up and result in our monthly credit card payments doing little or nothing to reduce the balance. It’s a vicious cycle that can be difficult to get out of.
