When Is A Credit Card Deal Good? By Paul McDermott What exactly makes a good card deal good? You probably hear often how someone you know is ecstatic over the card deal she just got and how many rewards she is going to get. Should you rush to get the limited time offer "great deal" she just signed up for?
Let's check what one can term as a good card deal. A card deal is good if it works for you. So, if the card fits into your lifestyle in a way that makes maximum benefits for you, that can be a good card deal.

This is because the lifestyle and the needs differ from person to person (and that is precisely the reason why every card supplier offers so many different kinds of cards).

Then there are the cards for particular stores. Say you shop at Target a lot. You will certainly get told that you can save 10% on your purchase that day if you open an account. It sounds good if you are making a big purchase that day, but do you really need a new card? And if you don't pay off the balance every month, what interest rate will you pay? These types of cards tend to have high interest rates.
A basic card from your local bank or union usually is a good card deal for anyone. You can still often get rewards for purchases, and the interest rate is lower. Don't forget, card companies are very smart. They know what you are likely to do with your new card,

so they set it up so they make the money, not you.
A good card deal is really a relative term and there is no card deal which is equally good for all.
