What's In Your Wallet?

A renowned credit card provider has asked this very question: what's in your wallet? Chances are you aren't quite sure. Yes, you have several credit cards, but are they what you need? Do you know what your APR is? The size of your credit line? Your current balance? Pull out your latest statements and examine everything very closely: any changes to your rate or credit line should have been given to you in writing and perhaps it had been. It is very easy to overlook a piece of mail that may contain vital information about your credit cards. Always check the correspondence from your credit card provider to make certain that you are aware of all of the details of your account. In most cases you can reject the changes before they occur, but be prepared to shop for a new card if you choose that route.
