  • Joe Weider:
    There are a few different BankAmericard Visas, so I guess the BankAmericard Visa Card is the plain vanilla version since it doesn’t have the words “Cash Rewards,” “Fully Secured,” “Signature,” etc. attached to its name. The question though is whether its terms are plain vanilla or as exciting as something like Reece’s ice cream. The BankAmericard Visa Credit Card doesn’t offer rewards (strike 1?) but it does offer 0% on both transfers and purchases for the first 15 months, though it charges a 4% balance transfer fee while most cards with balance transfer offers have 3% fees (strike 2?). Sure, the BankAmericard Visa Card doesn’t have an annual fee, but it requires excellent credit and many other cards with the same approval criteria don’t have such fees either or offer way, way better rewards. I can now say it definitively, Stike 3. The BankAmericard Visa Card just doesn’t cut it in the current credit card market. You need to explore some alternatives then, and what type of card you concentrate on depends on your spending and payment habits. If you have trouble paying your monthly bills in full, you’ll want a card like the Citi Simplicity Card, which offers 0% on purchases and transfers for 21 months. If you want a card with good rewards across all purchases, the Capital One Cash Credit Card, with its flat 1.5% cash back rate is a good choice. If you want a rewards bonus, go for the Chase Sapphire Preferred and it’s $500 - $625 initial bonus. If you want more rewards on specific spending categories, a card like the Blue Cash Everyday from Amex, with its 3% cash back at supermarkets, 2% at gas stations and department stores, and 1% on everything else is a good choice, but this obviously depends on your lifestyle. Ultimately, you’d have to try hard not to do better than the BankAmericard Visa Card.
