A few generations ago, no one would have thought much about a society that did the bulk of its transactions with a little plastic card. Today, few would think about using cash for most purchases as credit cards and now debit cards have taken the world by storm. Like it or not, plastic is an important part of today's society with billions of dollars in transactions being completed every hour. Did you know you can have fun with your plastic? Yes, read on and we'll take a look at how you can make a little piece of plastic work to your advantage.
To get the most out of a credit card, use it to your full advantage. Do not run up balances you can not pay but do take advantage of the rewards that come with your card. What, no rewards are offered? Well, then time for you to search for a card that pays you to use it.
Much of the fun with plastic comes in the form of the card's many different rewards. No card is worth it to you if they do not give you at least one point for every dollar space. Better yet is the card that automatically rewards you with thousands of points upon your first purchase.
With a rewards card you can:
Choose to eat out at a variety of restaurants from famous name fast food stores to well known chains of sit down restaurants.
Take in a movie with the family and have your tickets paid for. You'll still have to spring for the popcorn and soda but you can save $ 40 bucks on theater tickets.
Stay one night or more at a luxury hotel. Accumulate enough points and one or more nights at a highbrow hotel could come to you courtesy your credit card. Accumulate enough points and a four day getaway to a luxury resort could be yours for no charge!
Fly anywhere in the USA for free or get one free companion ticket and take your wife along at no charge thanks to the points accumulated via plastic.
Purchase fun gifts such as an HDTV, a state of the art stereo system, a china pattern, printer, you name it.
Most rewards cards come with a trusty little booklet outlining all of the different rewards you can work toward. Sift through the book, plan your spending, and start accumulating points towards some certainly nifty prizes.
