5 Secret Credit Card Perks

Clearly now is a good time for opening up a new credit card, provided your credit score is high enough to have made you the recipient of one of the great offers issuers have been mailing out. Unfortunately, that will not be the case for the majority of Americans.

The average American had a credit score of 667 in May 2011, according to CreditKarma.com, a provider free credit scores to consumers. That is three points below the May 2010 average and certainly not enough to warrant a high-incentive credit card offer. What an average credit score may warrant is an offer for a zero-percent interest rate on balance transfers or purchases, which is a pretty good deal as well.

The bottom line is that everyone will benefit from the new crop of high-quality credit card offers, only to a different extent, which is always the case. http://blog.unibulmerchantservices.com/your-credit-card-mail-is-not-junk-anymore
