What is the best credit card deal for a student?

February 13th, 2012
asked:


I’m a student and have never had a credit card but I’m looking to build up some credit just for good measure as I know a good credit score will help me out in the future. I know nothing about credit cards so I was just wondering what is the best deal out there or how to find the best deal for me? What exactly should I be looking for and what should I definitely stay away from? Any little bit will help.

What credit card out there has the easiest approval?

February 6th, 2012
youresoscene_xxx asked:


I have some credit, but not a whole lot. My credit score is 628. I also have a delinquncy with Chase, which I am trying to pay off now, but I want to get a different credit card in the mean time to make payments on that to increase my score.

So what are some credit cards that will approve almost instantly with a credit score like that? I just want to get it to improve my credit.

How do you get a credit card with bad credit?

February 6th, 2012
Heedie asked:


I am trying to pick my credit score back up off the floor and have heard that you can do this by applying for credit cards and making the payments on them. Nice! Except, I went through a divorce and my credit is now lowsy. I pay all my bills on time and have a decent job, yet credit card companies don’t give me the time of day. Does anyone know of a company that will work with a credit slacker like me?

What is the relationship between interest rates and demand for money?

February 6th, 2012
SwimGirl asked:


A) As interest rates decrease, demand for money increases.
B) As interest rates increase, demand for money increases.
C) Interest rates are determined by demand for money.
D) Interest rates and demand for money are unrelated.

I am so confused. Is money supply the same thing as demand? In that case it would be B. But then again what if has nothing to do with it, then it would be D?

(Australian context) How do interest rates affect inflation in this day and age?

February 2nd, 2012
NONAME asked:


I really don’t get this. At the moment, most inflation is directly or indirectly related to the price of fuel. Many people do not have mortgages and have enough money to support themselves without using credit.

How can the reserve bank continue to assume that interest rates will control inflation when, rate rise after rate rise, price inflation seems to continue?

What is the consequence for paying off your current credit card debt with a new credit card?

January 31st, 2012
Reggie asked:


I have 2 credit cards and they’re not even that much. I’ve been paying every month to reduce the balance but after interest charges, it seems to go straight back up. I recently checked my credit score, and it’s in pretty OK shape. I know if I get another credit card, my credit limit will be enough to cover for both debts. My plan is to just get a new credit card with no interest for one year and pay them off then cancel my other 2 credit cards.
Is that a safe idea? Will it affect my credit score (negatively) that much to do so?
Thanks.

If inflation is growing and interest rates are decreasing, what will happen to bond prices?

January 31st, 2012
Yardbird asked:


This seems to be the current situation; usually interest rates go up with inflation (which would make bond prices go down), but now we have substantial inflation, and interest rates are heading south. Help! Are bonds safe?

What is a good credit limit for a first credit card?

January 31st, 2012
Michelle W asked:


I got my first credit card a couple years ago via Bank of America, and my current credit limit is $9000. Since I don’t have any experience with credit cards in the past, I’m wondering if this is good or not? Is there anyway I can increase this limit? What do most credit card limits start at?
