How To Compare Rewards Credit Cards

Not long ago, comparing rewards cards was pretty straight forward. Most credit card offers gave cardholders one point, or one mile, for each dollar spent and charged to the card. Credit card rewards programs sometimes offered bonuses for earning miles either for using the cards during specific periods of time or when shopping at certain types of stores. Often, these special offers came in the form of “double miles” or even “triple points”.

These days, such offers are non-expiring specials on some credit cards. Other cards, such as some Capital One rewards cards offer a base miles earning rate other than 1 mile per dollar. My Capital One No Hassle Miles credit card, for example, has a base miles earning rate of 1.25 miles for each dollar spent, with two times miles per dollar spent when the card is used in certain types of retail shopping establishments.

Of course, comparing which card offers the highest miles earned per dollar spent is useless without also comparing what rewards those miles or points can be redeemed for.

In order to determine which rewards cards are good values and which ones are below average (or worse) it pays to keep in mind that the “average” cash back credit card offers 1 percent cash back on all standard purchases. That works

Paying Bills: Set it and Forget it

A quick way to upgrade your finances is to automate your regular bill payments. You know the benefits already: boosting your credit score by avoiding late payments; saving money on stamps and time on mail; and protecting your identity. Automatic bill pay definitely saved me a ton of hassle and headaches when I moved to New York. The last thing I wanted to do on a Saturday was to figure out first-class postage for my cell phone bill (by the way, forever stamps are a lifesaver).

When I suggested this tip to some of my friends, a common worry was that auto bill pay is too easy. Some friends relied on the chore of paying bills to track their spending, update their budget and look for any fraudulent charges. For those of you who are awesome enough at personal finance to have this problem, congrats! There are a few fixes too. One is that many vendors let you set limits and alerts on your automatic payment. For example, I set an upper limit on my monthly gas bill.

The push to include student loan debt under bankruptcy protection

Shortly after buying that new, humongous high-def flat screen TV and state-of-the-art home theater system, you become downsized. You consider a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but learn you can erase hat $10,000 home entertainment debt, but not $42,000 of student loans. What’s wrong with this picture?

Student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy

The original logic was sound. Federal education loans are guaranteed by the U.S. government and, therefore, the taxpayers. In return for their guarantee, taxpayers deserve some extra protection against losing their hard-earned dollars. And the same protection is granted to private lenders.

The current discussion results from bankruptcy reform in 2005. Congress extended government lender protection to the private education loan sources.

The True Cost of Credit Cards

Credit cards are a staple of modern life. Like a telephone, television, or computer, you can live without credit cards but few people do, most have more than one, and many have specific purposes for each one (e.g. sitting room, travel, work). If you pay them off each month, or use them to self-finance purchases that you could not readily afford, credit cards are a great addition. Convenient, secure, and flexible, credit cards really do have a lot in their favor, but they are not all they seem. The true cost of credit cards is not the annual percentage rate (APR) alone. Fees also need to be included, and when they are, the true cost of credit is closer to 35 percent (regardless of your APR).

Most credit card issuers will add one or more of the following fees and charges:

ANNUAL FEE: Many credit card issuers, and more every day, require an annual fee for carrying certain credit cards. Annual fees are typically flat fees and range from $10 to $500.
