Low Interest Credit Cards

Overview

Teenagers and American Express. Not two words you typically expect to go together. Until now. The new reloadable pre-paid debit card from American Express, called PASS, is available in bright colors, with the potential to upload a photo onto the card, and is targeted at teens and young adults.

But American Express does not call PASS a debit card — and it really isn’t. This card has several advantages over many prepaid debit cards, which we’ll explore later in the article. Instead, the PASS card is more like a hybrid between a prepaid debit card and an American Express charge card.

It’s a brilliant marketing move on the part of Amex — to begin building brand loyalty at a young age. I’d recommend this card over a prepaid debit card for teenagers at college or even people vacationing. The only downside? The $3.95/m

California-based Kena Kai has launched a new line of DataSafe Wallets and Passport Wallets specifically designed to thwart identity theft. These patent-pending and stylish Italian leather wallets utilize multiple layers of radio frequency (RF) shielding material to protect the millions of new wireless credit cards and “ePassports” that will be issued this year. Credit cards have become an integral part in today’s society. With the recent introduction of credit cards and passports that contain an electronic wireless chip, sometimes referred to as an RFID (radio frequency identification) chip, these critical and very personal tools in our daily life are now at risk. With most advances in technology come trade-offs and this is no exception. While these new cards and passports offer greater convenience, they are also susceptible to “skimming” – the wireless access and/or copying of personal information stored on these cards – from a distance.

Going away this Memorial Day weekend and renting a car? You can save some money at the car rental counter if the credit card you use to pay for your car rental offers rental car insurance. Most credit cards do. Since car rental agencies charge about $17 to $20 per day for their own CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) you can save a lot of money during a one-week vacation or even a weekend trip.

Rental car insurance isn’t actually “insurance,” (and it doesn’t go by that name) because rental car agencies aren’t licensed to issue insurance.

Is it really insurance? In that it “insures” yo
