What is a Credit Card?
Put simply, a credit card is just a small piece of plastic that easily fits in your wallet.
Well, it’s not ‘just a piece of plastic’; it’s a very powerful piece of plastic which can be regarded as a compressed form of cash. We can define credit cards as a credit system that allows the consumer to borrow money on the fly from a bank or a financial institution and use it to make payments to the merchants.

All about credit card rate
What’s the thing that is most prominent on any credit card ad?
Well, it’s the credit card rate (or the APR, as we know it). The credit card rate is the most publicized thing in the world of credit cards. A lot of people just compare the credit card rate of various credit cards and just go for the one that is offering the lowest credit card rate (or APR).
Credit card rates are, in fact, one of the most important factors in the selection of a credit card (though not the only factor). Therefore, a proper understanding of Credit card rates is even more necessary.
Credit card debt
‘Credit card debt’ is a much discussed topic in the commercial and social circles.
A big section of the population has been bit by this bug called ‘credit card debt’.
Can’t blame them much; as such, it’s pretty easy to fall prey to this bug. The main reason behind so many credit card casualties (rather credit card debt related casualties) is that many people don’t understand the concept of credit cards properly. They treat credit card as free money that is never to be returned.
