Top 5 Blog Round Up #1

CreditCardAssist.com’s Blog Round Up will be a weekly (hopefully) round up of all the best credit card, debt and any credit or personal finance related blog posts that we feel are worth noting.  These posts will include recommendations, advice, guides, lists and tips from all of the very best bloggers in the credit card and personal finance categories.  So enjoy CCA’s Blog Round Up #1

 
1. My Money Blog has a great post about how to save $.20/gallon on gas with some of the better cash back rebate cards on the market.  With gas prices at record highs, this type of card offer is becoming increasingly viable for consumers.
2. Walletpop lists the “7 Dirty Tricks that Credit Companies Play on You” from blog resident advisors Ken and Daria Dolan.
3. PaidTwice.com has a January 2008 post that I felt was worth mentioning that talks about the easiest and most uncomplicated way to get your the APR on your card lowered with your card issuer.  You’ve simply gotta ask people!
4. Master Your Card has a really nice post about credit card rewards traps such as higher interest rates and extra fees that many people might not be aware of.  Great advice to benefit from rewards offers.
5. One of my favorite recent posts from the NCN Blog - an illuminating conversation with a department store employee about the marketing and promotional efforts of store branded credit cards.  Very enlightening.
