When applying for credit cards, it’s important to shop around. Fees, interest rates, finance charges, and benefits can vary greatly. And, in some cases, credit cards might seem like great deals until you read the fine print and disclosures.
To help the consumer with shopping for a secured Visa or MasterCard, Bad Credit MD has just updated their list of financial institutions (with reviews) that offers people with bad credit a secured credit card at http://www.badcreditmd.com/
When you’re trying to find the credit card that’s right for you, look at the:
Annual percentage rate (APR) - The APR is a measure of the cost of credit, expressed as a yearly interest rate.
Annual fees - Many issuers charge annual membership or participation fees.Some card issuers assess the fee in monthly installments.
Transaction fees and other charges - Some issuers charge a fee if you use the card to get a cash advance, make a late payment, or exceed your credit limit. Some charge a monthly fee if you use the card or if you don't.
Customer service - Customer service is something most people don’t consider, or appreciate, until there’s a problem. Look for a 24-hour toll-free telephone number.
Unauthorized charges - If your card is used without your permission, you can be held responsible for up to $50 per card. If you report the loss before the card is used, you can’t be held responsible for any unauthorized charges. To minimize your liability, report the loss as soon as possible. Some issuers have 24-hour toll-free telephone numbers to accept emergency information.
