Let's break down what to consider when selecting a credit card and how Neo's innovative options can help you maximize your spending.
What to look for in a credit card
When choosing a credit card, consider these important factors:
- Rewards & cashback – Do you want to earn cashback on everyday purchases or points for travel and shopping?
- Interest rates – If you plan to carry a balance, a low-interest card can save you money.
- Annual fees – Some premium cards offer more perks but may come with an annual fee. Decide if the benefits outweigh the cost.
- Credit-building features – If you're new to credit or rebuilding your score, a secured or credit-building card might be the right choice.
- Additional perks – Look for travel insurance, mobile protection, or exclusive merchant discounts that fit your lifestyle.
Once you have an idea of what you're looking for, it's time to explore your options.
Understanding different types of credit cards
Each credit card type serves a different financial need. Here's a quick breakdown:
- Cashback cards – Earn a percentage of your spending back as cash rewards—perfect for everyday purchases.
- Low-interest cards – Ideal if you occasionally carry a balance and want to save on interest.
- Travel rewards cards – Earn points or miles for flights, hotels, and travel perks.
- Secured credit cards – Require a deposit but help build or rebuild credit—great for students and newcomers.
- Premium cards – Offer exclusive perks like airport lounge access, travel insurance, and concierge services.
