HomeAt least once a month, I get a call or an email from people who need help picking a new rewards-earning credit card. They know they’re probably not getting as many freebies as they could. Or perhaps their goals have changed – say, from chasing free international first-class travel to saving for college for their kids.
The problem, however, is that it could take days to sort through all of the options. There’s some pretty good sporadic analysis of individual card products at places like fatwallet.com and flyertalk.com. But there isn’t a single site where it’s all nicely organized (Postscript 24 hours later: I should have mentioned Gary Steiger’s terrific site on frequent-flier miles and other loyalty programs, as he rightfully points out in the comments section below; click the “credit cards” link on the left once you get there), let alone a personal shopper who can help pick the right card for you.
All that changes, starting today. Welcome to the Credit-Card Personal Shopper, where I’ll walk confused consumers through a series of questions and then recommend a card that meets their needs.
What qualifies me to do this?
