Credit Card?

Brilliant13 asked:


Hey I was wondering if I am allowed to have a credit card at the age of 12. I know I’m young but I am responsible and it is a good way for me to learn how to manage my earned money.

does the Fidelity Rewards (2% cashback) Amex credit card have an easier application process?

Credit card application
i just figured since they offer someone with a brokerage account at fidelity a credit card then they know that person has money, i.e. has funds, i.e. will pay off their balance, and thus be more lenient on approving people for that card…is that true?

i have a 675 score and just started building credit 1 year ago, so that’s why it’s low. about 2 months ago i applied for an amex card and got denied. is it a bad idea to apply for the fidelity card? i do understand that applying in general dings your score, hence why i am asking rather than doing it and finding the result. the amex i applied for was like the sky blue, or one of their best travel cards…who knows, they may have approved me for a regular card. i don’t really know enough about this to come to a conclusion. thanks.

Do credit card balance transfers hurt your credit score?

offer credit card
I keep getting these great offers from Credit CArds where I can transfer balances or no fee and no interest until a given point in the future (ussualy around 1 year).

Obviously this is going to save me money by reducing interest, but will it damage my credit score?

What does the credit card company profit from when they have like 3% cash back for the year?

credit card
Doesn’t 3% cash back mean that they give you 3% back on what you spend? Example you spend $10000 you get $300 back? Losing money?

If you use your card to pay for something and pay the credit card company back on time all year long do you have to pay some membership fee or yearly fee?

How do I get out of debt?

compare credit cards
1. I have 5 thousand dollars of credit card debt.

Compared to other 27 year olds, do you think I have an outrageous amount of credit card debt?

I live at home. I do not have a car payment. I have no idea where my money has been going. Anyway, what % of my paycheck should go to these credit cards?

My boyfriend owes me money?

compare credit cards
It’s not a big amount, $50 but there is a principle behind it. There was a mistake he made and we both agree that he is responsible for it. He didn’t have a credit card at the time to pay for it so he asked me to take care of it for him and promised that he would return the money to me the next time we see eachother. I’ve seen him about 4 times after that.

Now before you make any harsh judgments on him, he is relatively a nice guy. He is not stingy with money, always pays for our nights out etc. $50 is nothing compared to how much he’s spent on me but like I said there’s a principle behind it. I can’t stand irresponsible guys. I’ve had guys in the past tell me they would pay me back for expenses they were responsible for only to end up getting screwed. How should i ask for it back? Or am I being too anal and should just give him a break?
Don’t misunderstand… I guess it’s from past experience with men who have taken advantage of me. That is where all this is stemming from. Read again, I explained it towards the end.

How does getting credit back on your credit card work?

credit card
Let’s say I buy something for $100. I return it and they say I will have that credit back on my credit card. So now my credit card balance is $100? What if I paid for that $100 already and then returned it and got credit back? Can a credit card have a balance and have money withdrawn from it?
