Consumers who compare credit cards may benefit in 2011

In the past year, many Americans sought to compare credit card offers and sent in applications, only to find themselves shut out from the payment system.

However, with the economic recovery just beginning, credit card companies are looking to the new year as a time for re-evaluating past strategies to draw in and keep more customers. Many issuers have their eye on the next big innovation as they realize what works today may not be the best strategy to pursue tomorrow.

Andrew Davidson, Mintel Comperemedia senior vice president, outlined what he expects to be the dominating credit card trends of 2011 in his recent webinar, “Credit Card Stratgey: A New Era for Loyalty Marketing,” industry news source Convenience Store News reports. In this discussion, he highlighted a shifting landscape, fierce competition and the need to build customer relationships.

Davidson expects rewards cards to be one of the largest growth sectors for issuers. Read more…

$100 Sign Up Bonus Credit Card Offers

Do you give your credit card a workout? Are you more likely to whip out your Visa, American Express or Discover card than a $10 or $20 bill to pay for everything from groceries to books to new shoes?

Then credit cards that offer cash-back bonuses are perfect for you. These cards provide refunds (up to 5% cash back) with every dollar you spend. You’ll eventually receive your cash-back bonus, in the form of a credit to your account or a paper check mailed to your address, after you complete a specific dollar amount of purchases.

Certain cash-back cards, though, are considered better than others. Three of the top-tier cards out there are the Discover More card, Chase Freedom Visa card and Chase Ink Cash Back Business Card. Each card provides consumers with a $100 cash-back bonus for meeting certain requirements.

But while these cards are similar, they each have enough quirks to set them apart from their competitors.

Consumers continue to compare credit cards with other payment options

In recent months, a number of polls have indicated that consumers plan to reduce their credit card use, take steps to decrease delinquent payments to lenders and conduct more of their holiday shopping with debit cards, cash and checks.

This trend was confirmed this week by the Federal Reserve Board’s 2010 Payments Study.

The study, which is conducted every three years, sought to deduce the annual number, dollar value and composition of consumers’ noncash payments. In its research, the Federal Reserve Board found that from 2006 to 2009, all types of electronic payment methods increased in volume, with the exception of credit cards.

As of 2009, more than three-quarters of all U.S. noncash payments are now made online, marking a 9.3 percent increase over figures from the last study. Read more…
