Skip the Sign the says “Apply for Credit Card”
As more and more people are getting higher paid jobs (or jobs in general), more and more people are beginning to apply for credit cards. However, the best thing that most people can do is to skip right over the stores that have the “apply for credit card” signs in the windows!
The only thing that happens when a person goes into a store that has a “apply for credit card” sign or advertisement in their stores window is that person will end up being a target until they apply for that store credit card. In fact, many of the stores will even give you a discount on your purchases if you do “apply for credit card” in their store; which in most cases is either 10 or 15% off.
Even though you want to go to the stores that have the “apply for credit card” in the window, there are many positive things that will come about by not going into them stores; even if you don’t see them right away! In fact, one of the best things that will happen by skipping the “apply for credit card” signs is that you will not go into debt by using a credit card that you do not need! Another positive thing is that your credit report will not have that store’s name on it, tainting your credit report as a public viewer.
