Getting a Credit Card
The following is a sponsored review for a credit information site.
I was asked to review a site called Extra Credit cards. I first visited the site looking for any benefit that it offers to the readers. The site offers many great short articles that help to make decisions before you Apply for Credit Card. The site is basically set up as a consumer credit guide with details of what all the terms mean.
I found the site full of information that could help someone new to credit cards. I am quite experienced in the world of finance and I even found an article about trailing interest that I was not even aware of. Besides the informative information, they do have offers to many credit cards for whatever your situation is.
The site is like many other credit information sites. It offers you lots of articles in the hopes that you would sign up for one of the offers on their site. I have compared their offers to many others Online and they are good offers. My one point of disappointment with the site is that the articles are dated and it does not look like anything has been added since January 2007. My fear with this, from a consumer view point, would be how current are the credit card offers. If they do not plan to add articles often, I think they would be better served to omit dates.
The site is nice and it is quite easy to find an article that appeals to you. The overall look of the site is comforting and though the main point is to advertise for credit cards, the ads are not so intrusive that it takes from the information. I found this to be one of the better set up credit card information sites but they include much of the information already included in many other sites.
If you are looking for a credit card or for information about credit cards, I would suggest at least checking out this site. Who knows, they may help you get your first or your best credit card!
