It’s all about lenders getting jumpy over the economy and using algorithms that flag even small spending spikes—like winter travel or holiday shopping.

Pro tip: Use all your cards occasionally and keep balances low to avoid a surprise limit cut. #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share
nkent+FollowWhy Your Credit Card Rate Won't BudgeThinking a Fed rate cut will shrink your credit card bill? Not so fast. While banks are quick to hike your interest when rates go up, they’re slow to drop them when rates fall. So, even if the Fed cuts rates again, don’t expect your APR to magically dip. If you want to save on interest, try a balance transfer, negotiate with your card company, or look into debt consolidation. Waiting for banks to play nice could cost you more in the long run. #Business #MakeMoney #CreditCardTips00Share
