The credit limit on a card serves a few important purposes. It makes sure that your card is large enough to be practically use able but at the same time not too large to be overwhelming.

Benefits of a Large Credit Limit

  1. It allows you the flexibility to make purchases without worrying [too much that is] if you have gone over the credit limit
  2. The larger the limit, the easier it is to rack up points/rewards

Benefits of a Smaller Credit Limit

| Credit Cards

When looking to find that perfect travel credit card the first question to ask is What type of travel will I be doing?

  1. Why Will You Be Traveling?

    • Will you be traveling for business?
    • Or will you be traveling for personal reasons?
  2. Where Will You Be Traveling to?

    • Are you going to stay inside America?
    • Or are you thinking of focusing on more international europe/asia style traveling?
  3. What city will you be flying out of on a regualar basis?

    [if you are flying out of Chicago, a rewards card connected with United may be a great idea.  If you are flying out of Dallas then southwest may be better.]
  4. What is your credit score?

    • If you have a medium to higher quality credit score then finding a good travel credit card should be quite doable.
    • If you are stuck with an absymal credit score, chances are finding a quality rewards card may be quite difficult.

Well this was our first post. I hope that it could help you out. If you would like we would love you to follow us on twitter.

Have a good day.  And remember, saving money with a good rewards card really is possible.  Look here at how The Million Dollar Journey gives a good review of somerewards cards for Canadians.…

3 Of The Best Travel Rewards Credit Cards For Spring 2012

| Credit Cards

The new year has come around and it is time to start planning for those next vacations/trips. Thankfully there are a couple different types of rewards cards that you can use to help save a little for those trips.

  1. Capital One Venture Rewards Card

    If you are looking for a general all purpose rewards card [for international travel] then this card is a good fit. There is no foreign transaction fee. Also, this card is issued through Visa so it should be widely accepted. This card is very flexible as it allows you to use your earned miles with almost any airline.

    If you want more info check out their Redeem Easily page.

  2. Chase Freedom MasterCard

    This is another good travel rewards card, it has 10,000 bonus sign up miles and no annual fee. Almost all types of purchases qualify for rewards but there is a 3% foreign transaction fee. This a good card if you are going to focus on traveling within the US or if you are planning to use a different card when traveling internationally.

    The Downside is that this isn’t a travel specific card and all reward points are given as cash back. This card is a good rewards card and will offer flexibility in giving you rewards for everyday and travel purchases. At the same time it is not travel specific and if you are looking for a card specific for flights or hotels then this card will not be your top choice.

    More information can be found here.

  3. The Southwest Rapid Rewards Card

    If you commonly fly southwest then this may be a great card for you. After your first purchase you recieve 25,000 bonus miles which is enough for a free flight within the US. You receive the 2 points per dollar spent on Southwest flights and 1 point for other purchases. There is a $69 annual fee but it is not too to earn more dollars in points than the annual fee. At 1 point per dollar spent you need to spend $6900 per year to make up for the annual fee. There is a yearly bonus of 3000 miles that can be used for a $50 economy fare.

    This is a good card if you already fly southwest alot and plan to stick to purchases within the US.
