  Credit cards can be an early warning sign for dangerous spending in the economy. However, credit cards offer peace of mind, perks, and conveniences when properly used. Read this article to discover some of the advantages of credit cards.
  
  Be certain you monitor card transactions carefully. You can even get mobile alerts if they are available. With mobile alerts, you can immediately look into questionable charges. Contact your bank if you learn of activity you didn't authorize. You may also need to contact police.
  
  If your credit cards have an interest rate that is higher than you feel comfortable with, talk to the company to see if it can be reduced. In a few cases, this will happen. This trick can save you hundreds of dollars a year if you carry a balance on your credit card.
  
  Remember that credit cards can be revoked at any time. Your credit score will reflect responsible use of credit cards and will drop if you do not practice responsible charging. Make more than the minimum required payment each month, and go over your statement to verify all charges.
  
  Be sure to find out if the due date for your payment is a firm date or just a suggested date. Many credit card companies are now resorting to suggested due dates, which can be as much as 15 days sooner than the true due date. If you have a suggested due date, find out what your actual due date is, too. This gives you a better idea of how long you have to make your payment if you are in a pinch.
  
  If you have balances on several credit cards, choose one and work on paying it off. Your credit record can improve if you can demonstrate an ability to pay a card off in full each month.
  
  Don't carry credit cards with you that you are not going to use. This makes it much easier to follow each of the cards, track your spending, and notice any fraudulent charges. Theft is common, so it is important to always have control of your credit cards. Cancel any credit card as soon as you notice it is missing.
  
  Don't be tempted by the allure of credit cards. When you get a credit card, you should understand that you may have thousands of dollars at your fingertips. This can lead you into heavy financial problems. Limit impulse buys and give yourself 48 hours before purchasing large ticket items.
  
  Have a note placed in a visible area in your home, indicating all the purchases done through your credit card. This helps you remember how high your balance is, and what types of things you are buying with credit. It is easy to overspend if you're not kept up-to-date on all the things you've bought over the course of the month.
  
  Credit can be a real boon to consumers who use it responsibly. Knowing how the various cards work is important. You can make more educated choices this way. The tips in the text above are designed to help individuals make the right choices when dealing with credit.
