charges in small increments and pay that card at least every 2 weeks, because that can boost your credit. the good news is, you get that deposit back when your account is upgraded or closed in good standing. now if you want to save on interest: then you want a low-interest, zero percent apr or balance transfer card. these cards are typically for someone with good credit. but beware: tricia : what are the pitfalls of balance transfers for the consumer? ken: well typically it's the fee that you have to pay right up front. but balance transfer cards can interest debt. just make sure with any of these cards, you understand whether you're getting a fixed rate, or introductory rate that jumps up after a certain amount of time. finally, if you want to earn extra perks just for using your credit card: then get a rewards or cash back card. ken: you can get anything you want. there's catalogs. there's travel. you can get tires changed. you can get gasoline. there's all kinds of different and keep in mind, these cards usually have higher aprs.
