  Never lie about your income to get a card with a higher limit. There are some creditors that won't verify how much income you make and raise your limit regardless, which can put you in serious financial trouble if you charge beyond your means.
  
  Avoid charging things like groceries or restaurant tabs on your credit card as these can take a while to appear on your monthly statement, which means possibly underestimation the balance you really have available to you. You could actually end up spending more than you realize because your balance is higher than it looks.
  
  When you're traveling, try to have two credit cards on you. Keep your financial options open by having cards that are issued by different banks. That helps in times of problems with one of the cards. Having two separate cards makes it easier to make use of your credit.
  
  Only apply for store cards with merchants you shop with often. When retail stores put in an inquiry on your credit to qualify you for a card, it gets recorded on your credit report whether you open the card or not. If the number of inquiries is excessive from retail locations, your credit score might be at risk of becoming lowered.
  
  Keeping two or three credit card accounts open is a sound financial practice. This helps improve your credit score, particularly if you can pay off the cards each month in full. Keep in mind that maintaining more than three cards may not be a good idea. It could raise doubts in the minds of lenders who look at your credit report.
  
  There are often great bonuses for accepting a new card. Pay attention to the fine print on the card; in order to get the bonus, there are often certain terms you have to meet. One of the most popular ones is requiring you to spend a predetermined amount of money in a couple of months to be eligible for any offers.
  
  Don't put your pin or password to paper, no matter what the circumstances. Memorizing your password is the only way to ensure that nobody else is able to access it. Writing down your PIN, especially if you store it with your card, can put your account in jeopardy if the information falls into the wrong hands.
  
  As previously mentioned, people can be easily disappointed and frustrated by credit card companies. To get a credit card that works well for you, spend the time to learn about your options before you apply. Use the information presented here to help you select the right card and use it wisely.
