The traditional method of shopping for credit cards by contacting credit companies one at a time, getting information and then filling out their application sheet may be a thing of the past.
Intense competition between credit card companies for your business along with the wonderful development of new software and security protocol have created sites that allow you to compare credit cards fast before you apply for one.
With each credit card company providing new bells and whistles every day, you really need a two stage comparison. The first should be a short side by side comparison that covers the basics of each offer. For example, the introductory rate, annual fees, APR, etc.
The second stage is to expand your research by going to a more detail information about each credit card with pros, cons, reviews and ratings.
You should also have the ability to search for credit card offers based on your requirements.
In using the credit card application search forms, remember that the displayed results depends on your input so in a sense you are putting your credit card knowledge to test. For example in searching for a credit card for people with bad credit you may focus on the lowest annual fee because you have heard that to be a major issue. So, the search result shows you the credit card with the lowest annual fee.
But what about the APR and the cash rewards and so on that reduce the over all cost of a credit card?
In this case, I use search forms but I also look category that shows all the credit cards suitable for those with bad credit, you can then select the one with the lowest annual fee or even go with the one with slightly higher annual fee and much lower APR.
I prefer both methods for a simple reason that if I do not ask the right questions, the search results may not show the credit cards I am looking for. By having pre-determined categories, I can check several categories fast and find the exact credit card I am looking for.
