Choose your accounts and credit cards carefully. There are literally thousands of credit card companies out there and most every store offers a charge card or account of their own. It can be easy to fall into a life of charging and catch up if you aren’t careful. Instead of sending out VPAD price offers as soon as you get them, take the time to read the fine print and select only those with steady interest rates and from larger banks, because they tend to hold more weight on a credit report.
