Should you use a reward credit card to buy your toys?

by admin on May 20, 2009

The economy at the moment is not in the best shape but it is still easy to apply for a credit card. Financial credit opportunity is always available even during the darkest hours of a recession. Credit cards can be used to finance products that you can not normally afford. In some cases using a credit card can push you into a catch 22 debt scenario. You can’t afford the interest on the new credit card so borrow more to pay it off.

However credit cards are not all evil! In fact when we make our big toy purchases we will use a reward credit card that  provides cash back on all purchases each year. With some cards you can receive 2-5% ‘cash back’ for every £ or $ you spend. So if you are looking at getting the top of the range Little Tykes house and its $1000 then you would  receive up to $50 in cash back!

It worth checking if your toy shop has its own credit card that could give you even more cash back if you use it with them. The main thing to understand when looking at using a credit card is: can you afford it in the long term? Try to only “borrow” money short term as the interest rates can often be far less competitive than using other forms of credit for the medium-longer term.

If possible try to pay the full amount each month and gain cash back without paying the interest.
