Credit Card or Store Credit Card

from Smart Money Cafe™ · host Sean Rogers

 How to learn which credit card is better for your financial freedom journey.  The Credit Card or the Store Credit Card.    Did you know the average retailer-branded credit card has a ridiculously high APR?   According to a recent article from Yahoo Finance: Say you purchase $1,000 worth of items on a store credit card with a 25% interest rate. Assuming you make the minimum $30 monthly payment, it'll take you 58 months to pay it off, and you'll end up paying $725 in interest. If you had put that purchase on a traditional rewards card with a 16% interest rate, it would only take 45 months to pay off, and you'd only pay $331 in interest.
