A credit card is a small plastic card issued to users as a system of payment. It allows its holder to buy goods and services based on the holder's promise to pay for these goods and services. The issuer of the card grants a line of credit to the consumer (or the user) from which the user can borrow money for payment to a merchant or as a cash advance to the user. Usage of the term "credit card" to imply a credit card account is a metonym.

A credit card is different from a charge card: a charge card requires the balance to be paid in full each month. In contrast, credit cards allow the consumers a continuing balance of debt, subject to interest being charged. Most credit cards are issued by banks or credit unions, and are the shape and size specified by the ISO/IEC 7810 standard as ID-1. This is defined as 85.60 × 53.98 mm (3.370 × 2.125 in) (3/8 × 2/8 in) in size.

How can I get my credit card company to report account information?
Q. I got my credit report today and it shows that my total credit amount is $300 and I have $296 available. After further inspection I noticed that only one credit card had reported a credit limit/max balance and that all of my credit cards hadn't been reported since April. Is there an effective way to contact the credit card companies and get them to report accurate and up to date information to the credit bureaus? I feel that this issue is affecting my credit score, so I would like to fix this. Thanks in advance.

A. They only report every 6 months. Some do it sooner, but that's rare.

What is the best credit card to suit my needs?
Q. I want a credit card with a good balance tranfer offer. Six months at 0% will do fine. It might be nice for it to be otherwise a good credit card too because I might pay the balance off in about a month and still want to use the credit card. I already have a Amazon credit card with Chase so I think I need to use a different bank.

A. In the overall grand scheme of things, it doesnt matter. I work for the largest credit card company in the country and I should be giving you my office number and tell you to call me on Wednesday when I go back to work, but I wont. They are all the same. Shop for interest rates. Some will give you 0% for a year or longer on balance transfers. Most will have a prime + interest rate, meaning your interest will change only when prime changes. Check the websites of chase, bank of america and citi. They are the biggest ones. It doesnt really matter who as long as you get the best rate. My personal opinion is go with who ever you bank with. Most banks will have their own credit cards that come with an introductory interest rate. Its… [cont.]

How to get a credit card with no credit and no checking account?
Q. I'm young with no credit and no checking account. I've been looking online and have only come across debit cards or credit cards that require a checking account. Where and how can I get a credit card w/ no credit and no checking account?

A. Actually most banks give you a credit card when you open a checking account. If you are 17 or older you can get a student checking account with a debit card. The reason they want a checking account is because statistics show that people that don't have checking accounts are more likely to default. If you are under 18, you can not get a credit card. /
