Kimberly asked:

I live in sunny southern California and will most likely be flying Southwest Airlines and the majority of my flights will be to Sacramento. I am looking for the best overall card. I would prefer a card which I can earn points on non travel related purchases. I also prefer a card with no annual fee. I’m not very educated in the earning of points and how those translate into flights. I’m really curious if the benefits outweigh the consequences of a credit card. Thanks!

Acrow asked:

I just finished college, and work full time. I have a debit card, and building good credit from paying off loans. A lot of people have been telling me to get a credit card, but I wonder if it really is necessary. Please give me some good reasons to get a credit card other than building good credit. The only other advantage I know about is those point-system/rewards credit cards, that earn you miles or other things. And what is the best credit card to get for a first time credit card holder? The number of choices are a little overwhelming. How did you choose your first/main credit card?

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?

indrep33 asked:

I want to apply for a credit card that starts out with a minimum credit line of $300. If I get it, it will be my first credit card. If I get the $300 credit, I want to make a purchase for like $200. Is this a good thing or a bad thing to do? Can someone give me some good tips on handling a credit card without getting bad credit?
I will mostly be using this card trying to start an at-home business.
Ya mama b*tch. Eat my p*ssy, h*e!!!
Oh, rudecatt63, you’ve hurt my feelings ever so much, I’m going to cry….NOT. For someone who keeps visiting the GLBT section and has a rainbow in they’re background, you sure do do a lot of gay bashing. Self hate is so stupid. But then again if I were you, I would probably hate myself too.

Stephen S asked:

I live in the State of Georgia and am being sued over an old credit card that I defaulted on. It has been more than 4 years but less than 6 years since the date of default, so depending on whether credit card debt is considered an open account or a written contract in the State of Georgia, the Statute of Limitations may or may not apply. The Staute of Limitations is 4 years for open accounts and 6 years for written contracts. Does anyone know for certain which type applies for credit card debt in Georgia? The account is with Citibank MasterCard and was opened in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Thanks.

Janie asked:

When I turned 18 I knew I needed credit cards to grow credit. When I reached the $500 limit on my first card and the $2000 limit on my new card when I found that this was not good for my credit. I hear that as long as you don’t spend more than half of the available balance your credit will be fine. Is this true?

flori0009 asked:

I have years of excellent on-time rental history, however I have no credit because I’ve never been in debt (always pay bills on time) go figure. I was wondering which credit cards I could apply for, for the first time. Wal-Mart Credit card rejected me because I have no credit, and I’m just looking for something small so I can put things on the card and pay them off quickly to establish some sort of credit. Any suggestions?

Stuck in the Middle Ages asked:

What happens to one’s credit when the person’s sole credit card is taken and used illegally? We’re not sure how this will affect efforts to refinance, as this is my wife’s only credit card. She will be receiving a replacement in the next week and will have an affidavit indicating that the charges were not hers.

Any suggested approaches to ensuring that her credit info is considered before the card was stolen and the account closed?

Rose asked:

I would like to know which credit card is best since I am a college student. Some people tell me it’s “Capital One” other say that’s the worst since they get unknown charges, others say that the credit card from your bank is better. So which credit card has been best for you guys??? This is my first time getting a credit card (in which I hate them’ cause u get addicted to it) so I have no idea of which 1 to get.

Tay asked:

I just turned eighteen at the end of February, so I have limited credit history.
I was wondering what credit card is used for building credit, and would be the best choice for a person getting they’re first credit card.
