Credit Card Application
|Which method is best for you?
A comparison of the different ways to submit credit card applications.
Credit Card Application By Phone
Sure, you can call a bank and ask to complete a credit card application, but how can you be sure you're getting the best deal for your spending habits?
Credit Card Application By Mail
If you have decent credit, you probably receive 2-3 credit card offers each month in your mailbox. By the time you get enough of them to compare, though, half of them have already expired. And it's not a particularly good idea to send your sensitive personal information (like a Social Security number) through the mail, where it can be a target for identity thieves.
Credit Card Application At the Bank
This is a secure option, but has the same pitfalls as applying by phone how can you be sure you're getting the best card for your needs if you only survey one bank's offerings?
Credit Card Application Online
The best option of the bunch. Credit card companies spend a lot of money making sure that your personal information is safeguarded throughout the application process. You can go to a bank's Web site and investigate their credit card offers, but by far the best option for your wallet is Card Hub. Designate your estimated credit standing and how you want to use your credit card and Card Hub does the legwork for you. Once you're presented with options, click to compare; once you've chosen, Card Hub sends you to the credit card application of your choice. Easy peasy!
