Find Your Ideal Card with Bank Rate Monitor
|
 |
Produced by a company with an established track record of providing reliable comparative
information about consumer bank rates to the banking industry and traditional print
media, the Bank Rate Monitor web site makes that expertise easily available to
you.
The Bank Rate Monitor site, http://www.bankrate.com, is densely packed with information
on a wide range of financial products and selected news stories about trends in
consumer banking.
The credit card area of the site provides comparisons of cards in a table format.
The features compared include:
- interest rate
- annual fee
- grace period
- availability, by state
- details (a link to further information such as penalty fees and special introductory offers)
Bank Rate Monitor allows you to
compare several different types of cards, including those with frequent flyer
miles, cards with rebates, gold cards with rebates, secured cards, and the
"best overall card for the next 12 months."
If you choose to simply search for rates, the site will prompt you to choose
your primary objective in a new card, and also ask for some information about
types of cards that interest you, such as secured or rewards cards and gold or
platinum cards.
Some of the listings even include links to the card issuers' web sites, where
you can read more about the cards they offer and how to apply.
