Any credit card advice? I'm looking into getting one to pay for gas/groceries to build up some credit, even though I'm currently paying off

>student loans

Is there anything to watch out in particular if I would only be using the card for this? Any tips on maximizing the benefits of credit cards?

Look for a card that gives back shit like 1% on groceries, 2% on gas, etc.

Or look for a card that does reward points, and if you use it enough maybe in a year or two you'll have saved up a free flight.

If you don't want to jew yourself just make sure you immediately pay off all purchases you make on the card. If you're just starting out, your interest rate could be high like 15%

Dont use your credit card for fun.
Use it for simple every day shit that you are going to pay off anyway, and have it for emergencies.

I think you should look up what a rising interest rate environment does to credit cards.

Nothing because you have to be a retard to ever pay a single cent of interest on a credit card.

>>1253381
it aint even about interest bro
companies are clamping down on applicants

15% would be really low for someone without established credit. In fact, that's low for someone with good credit. Your average credit card is gonna run between 15 and 25% APR.

That said, you should never carry a fucking balance on a credit card ever unless you're a complete fucking idiot. Don't pay for things you can't buy right now with cash. It's just... it's fucking mind boggling to me, that people can't figure that out. God damn I hate people.

So it gets a little harder to get approved, no big deal. That just means it'll take a little longer to build up your credit and start getting the good cards.

The only time a credit crunch matters is when you've stepped way over your leverage capabilities and you're trying to pay 4 mortgages because "the interest is only 3%!"

As a shareholder in Mastercard, Visa and Amex I'm not bothered too much.
Persue your self-interest my friend.

Does credit card interest compound immediately or monthly? I've been paying off my card on saturdays.

nigga all the cards i find have an interest rate of 37%-40%
>>
>>1253490
amex is real shit here
it has like 1% cashback and +2% in a few stores that don't interest me much.
low cap too for cashback.
it just not worth the bother.

>>1253513
What kind of cards where you are offer the best deals? Give examples.
>>
>>1253523
there is a mastercard that has 3% cashback for groceries and 5% seasonal but pretty steep annual cost. if you spend a lot it's worth it. i'm applying for it see what it looks like in a year.
