I think before taking on any type of credit card debt, you always need to ensure that it is the right type for you, or it could easily slip out of control.<br /><br />NO credit card is good if you cannot afford to pay it back.

This sounds like a bad idea (just my 2 cents). Big deal, you get $50 each year. (I really have no idea how much you would really get, making up a number). <BR/><BR/>With cash, you will have the satisfaction of paying for things without the hassle (and potential fees) of a credit card. The points never seem to be worth it. In fact, you have said this yourself. And you will never have to

Having a credit card these days is like having a double-edged sword - it cuts on both sides. Although there are good points of having a credit card, we need to be careful so that the debt can be <A HREF="http://savvybarefootinvestor.blogspot.com/2009/03/eliminate-personal-debts-methods-to.html" REL="nofollow">managed</A>.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://savvybarefootinvestor.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow

Sharon, I agree the Macy's card is horrible, I can't believe you only get the discounts if you use the card. They also charge an additional service fee if the balance is not paid in full every month, that's on top of standard APR of 23%!<BR/><BR/>This new citi card has great rewards if you eat out a lot, so if you spend 1200 on dining purchases, that's a $50 gift card.<BR/><BR/>HS

I think you only get these rewards if you carry a monthly balance. then it is not worth it, plus cash forces you to not overspend

In defense of your wife keeping her Macy's card...Macy's has this policy of only giving the discounts on purchases by using their card. I tried to fight this years ago to no avail. I have a Macy's card for Macy's purchases which I pay in full usually the next day. I guess I play their game, only they don't get the profit for interest charges which are very high. So....<BR/><BR/>On this Citi
