Credit Cards with rebates & gifts

Hi guys,

This is something u all should read.

Its about how u can get rebate or gifts from your credit card. This is
the second product i've seen lately that i think a lot of ppl will be
enticed.

The earlier one was the LCD TV that was given away when u do a balance
transfer of your credit balance. It also requires a minimum balance to
be carried forward to be entitled for the LCD TV.

But there still are credit cards that really give an actual rebate.
You might want to check out cards like Alliance bank or HSBC.

I'm not tryin to say all credit cards discounts are bad. I'm just
saying read the fine prints when you see a product being offered
sounds too good to be true. Here are some guidelines.

1) Read the fine prints
2) Ask one of those Credit card executives u always see in the shopping malls.
3) The best way, Call up the bank to check on the actual offer and ask
them whats the catch.

Hope this helps. Take care.
