Jeff, that article on my-first-credit-card.com about comparing cards was great! What other suggestions do you have?

I got on my parents' credit card when I was 17 (Still had my name on it I guess). Best thing I ever did as it seems to have boosted my credit quite nicely. Other than that I found this article on comparing cards to be helpful: http://my-first-credit-card.com/how-to-compare-different-credit-cards/

Will getting this card help build my credit and can I still get what I need with it too? Asked by David Guerrero

I do have to say, Discover Card has some fantastic perks for new accounts. Right now they are giving you $100 if you charge $500 within three months. That’s just crazy. Even if you only charge $1, you will still get $50 cash back.
The catch is you need a referral from an existing customer, but this direct link to their site should get you both bonuses: http://tinyurl.com/cjth4dv

I really enjoyed your article. It was very informative, I really needed this information to make a good consumer decision. I read some relative information at http://www.secondchancecreditcards.net. I think your readers would enjoy this information also.
Again thank you for sharing.

keep a low score. don't play the game. high scores means more offers of credit and more debt. banks want you to make the minimum payment for life. its a fools game to play the credit score. these ads are just for suckers who will soon be duped.
