With so many credit cards to choose from, finding the right card can be difficult.
Team One has put together a checklist and comparison chart to help you choose
the card that best fits your purchasing needs.
- Low Annual Percentage Rate
If you plan to carry a balance you should find a card with a low fixed APR.
The interest rate on credit union credit cards averages three percentage
points lower than the rate on cards issued by banks, according to Greg McBride,
a financial analyst for Bankrate.com. Team One offers low, fixed rates starting
at 9.9% APR.
- No Annual Fee
Don’t pay to carry someone else’s card. Choose
a Team One Visa Platinum with No Annual Fee.
- Customer Service
Knowing who you’re dealing with means a lot. With many credit card
companies, you have to call an 800 number in another state where you don’t
know who is helping you. Here at Team One, you can always speak with a friendly
member service representative during business hours and you can access your
Team One Visa account information online 24/7 at www.ezcardinfo.com.
At Team One you’re treated like a person not a number.
- Reward Programs
Many credit card companies have reward programs where
you earn points for every dollar that you charge on a
credit card. Team One CU offers ScoreCard
Bonus Points, which are earned for every dollar spent. These points can
be accumulated and redeemed for great gifts, travel rewards,
hotel discounts
and much more! For a free ScoreCard Rewards catalog, please visit the branch
nearest you or visit www.scorecardrewards.com.
- Credit Limit
As you may be aware, most credit card companies offer you low credit limits.
With a Team One Visa you can request credit lines up to $20,000.
- Fees
Some of the nation's biggest credit card companies have increased their late
payment penalty fees to $35. And your interest rate could shoot way up—another
penalty for late payment. Credit unions generally charge at least $6 less
on late fees for credit cards than banks. Team One’s late payment fee
is 5% of the late payment amount.
