Credit card providers are taking note and offering a variety of different card types with a growing segment falling into the reward card category.<\/p>\n<p>Rewards credit cards typically offer cash back, travel, store or gas rewards.\u00a0 While receiving rewards for your purchases may seem like a great deal, it is important to understand that these cards come at a cost. On the surface it may seem that providers offer rewards as a sign of gratitude for utilizing their card, but they are actually getting a return when offering these incentives.\u00a0 Here is how.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Interest Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The first cost that comes with reward credit cards is the interest rate.\u00a0 Rewards cards typically have a much higher interest rate than regular cards.\u00a0 While most cards have a variable APR, which means it can fluctuate, they still start at a lower level.\u00a0 For example, one card might start at 13.99%, but a rewards card might start at 17.99%.\u00a0 These rates all depend on one\u2019s credit score, but the fact still remains that your interest rate will be higher with rewards cards.<\/p>\n<p>The key to using any credit card is to not carry a balance from month to month.\u00a0 This is when you are charged interest.\u00a0 If you are responsible for your credit card spending, then the interest rate will not matter.\u00a0 Unfortunately, there are many that don\u2019t pay their balance in full.<\/p>\n<p>If you are earning 5% cashback, like with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discover.com\/credit-cards\/\">Discover It<\/a> card, then it can be a great way to get something back for your regular spending.\u00a0 The issue is that the card can come with a 22.99% interest rate depending on your credit profile.\u00a0 If you carry a balance on the card, then your cashback will be wiped away immediately.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Higher Prices<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anytime you swipe your credit card to pay for items, the retailer is being charged by the issuer, such as Visa or MasterCard.\u00a0 These fees depending on each store, but they can be 2% of the transaction price. These fees can add up.\u00a0 There are times when rewards credit cards demand a higher swipe fee than regular cards.\u00a0 This is not always the case, but it does happen.<\/p>\n<p>Most retailers don\u2019t just eat this swipe fee in order to give you the convenience to pay with your card.\u00a0 They wrap that cost into the price of their products.\u00a0 The higher the swipe fees, the higher the products cost.<\/p>\n<p>While you may love the rewards that came with some credit cards, you are paying for it one way or another.\u00a0 You might not pay interest on your card when you use them wisely, but prices of the items you buy are higher.\u00a0 Rewards credit cards are good for consumers that can control their spending and understand how rewards are structured.\u00a0 Credit card issuers love to give them out because they make their money back easily.\u00a0 Again, you are not getting rewards because you are loyal, you are getting them because the credit card company finds them lucrative.\u00a0 There is nothing free in the world and credit card rewards are in that camp.<\/p>\n<p>The key takeaway about credit cards is that they are only useful if you use them properly.\u00a0 They can be used as a short-term loan, but they need to be paid back immediately. If you carry a balance, then your payments will be filled with extra interest.\u00a0 If you spend uncontrollably, then your months will be filled with debt payments. I now use credit cards regularly and don\u2019t pay any interest.\u00a0 It is all about how you use them, and not letting the spending control you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A credit card may not be for everyone but the trend of paying with plastic over paper is here to stay.
