Need a Credit Card for the Holidays? Act Quickly

With under two weeks to go, consumers who anticipate needing a new credit card for holiday shopping are quickly running out of time. In the past, it was possible to apply online and get instant credit card approval along with instant access to that card’s credit line. Unfortunately, while some credit card companies still process and instantly approve credit card applications online, it typically takes a minimum of five days for a credit card to arrive in the mail.

Thus, someone who applies and is approved for a card on December 15th could receive their credit card by the 20th or 21st, though this is a best case scenario. Consequently, consumers who need a new credit card for holiday shopping or to cover expenses soon after need to act quickly to have a chance at getting a new card in hand before Christmas or Hanukkah come and go.

Here are some credit cards to consider for last minute shoppers.

Consumers who need a credit card and know they will not be able to repay balances immediately are likely best opting for a 0% APR credit card. A

Tax advice of the week: What to transfer to your spouse

Although many people know that transfers to spouses are tax-free, they often don’t consider how much to transfer, says Nick Braun in Business Tax Saver. Here’s why they should.

Let’s say a property is owned by a high-earning wife and produces £10,000 of rental profit a year. If she keeps the property she will pay £5,000 tax (50%); if she transfers it to her non-earning husband he will pay just £505 income tax.

A few years later the wife winds up her business and decides to sell the property, which is worth £50,000 more than when she bought it. Her husband is now a higher-rate taxpayer. If he sells the property he will pay 28% capital-gains tax (CGT) on that £50,000 minus £10,600, which is tax free, resulting in a £11,032 CGT bill. If he transfers the property back to his wife, he won’t be able to use his CGT exemption.

What he should do is keep roughly 21% of the property (£10,600/£50,000) and transfer the remaining 79% to his wife. This way he’ll p
