A Beginner's Guide to Credit Cards
How do credit cards work?
When you use a credit card, you are essentially taking a short-term loan. You can buy things now and pay for them later. Each month, you receive a bill that lists all your purchases and the total amount due. This is called your credit card statement.
Each card comes with a credit limit, which is the maximum amount you can borrow. If you exceed this limit, your card may be declined. You have the option to pay the full balance or just a part of it; however, if you only pay a portion, the remaining balance accrues interest, which is an additional cost.
Credit cards also have fees, like late payment fees or annual fees, depending on the card. Using cards responsibly can help build your credit score, which is important for future loans or mortgages.
How do credit card rewards work?
Credit card rewards are incentives offered by credit card companies to encourage people to use their cards more often. Essentially, you earn points, cash back, or miles for every dollar you spend using the card.
When you make a purchase with a rewards credit card, a small percentage of that amount is returned to you as rewards. For example, if your card offers 1.5% cash back, and you spend $100, you earn $1.50 in rewards. Some cards have bonus categories, like 3% cash back on groceries or travel, where you earn more for spending in those areas. You can then redeem these rewards in various ways: cash back, gift cards, travel discounts, or even merchandise.
Common Types of Credit Cards
There are several types of credit cards available, each catering to different needs and preferences. Each type of credit card offers different interest rates, credit limits, and rewards. Depending on the type of card you choose, you may find that some cards may better align with your financial goals.
Rewards Credit Cards
When you make a purchase, you earn rewards, which can come in the form of cash back, points, or travel miles. For instance, if a card offers 2% cash back, spending $100 would earn you $2 in rewards. Some cards have bonus categories, providing higher rewards for specific purchases like groceries or gas. You can redeem these rewards in various ways, such as getting cash back, buying gift cards, or booking travel.
Interest-Saving Credit Cards
Interest-saving credit cards are designed to help you borrow money at lower interest rates, making it easier to pay off your balance without accumulating high costs. When you use an interest-saving credit card, you borrow money to make purchases, but if you don’t pay off the full balance by the due date, you owe interest on the remaining amount. Interest-saving credit cards often have features like a low introductory interest rate. This means you can make purchases and carry a balance without paying extra interest during that time. After the introductory period ends, the interest rate will increase, but it's still ideally lower than typical credit cards. Some cards also offer a rewards program or incentives for on-time payments, encouraging responsible use.
Credit-Building Credit Cards
Credit-building credit cards are designed for people with limited or poor credit histories who want to improve their credit scores. When you get a credit-building card, you’re given a small credit limit, which is the maximum amount you can borrow. This limit might be lower than regular credit cards, making it easier for you to manage. Each time you use the card and make payments, you build your credit history and show lenders you can handle credit responsibly.
Steps to Aid in Choosing Your Credit Card
Comparing credit card features
Credit-building help
When you use a credit card, you are given a line of credit that you can borrow against. If you make timely payments and keep your balance low relative to your credit limit, you can build a positive credit history.
Credit scoring models look at your payment history, credit utilisation, length of credit history, and types of credit accounts. By using a credit card and paying off your balance on time, you demonstrate to lenders that you are responsible with borrowing money, which can boost your credit score.
For beginners, it's important to choose a card that supports credit building. Some options include secured credit cards, which require a deposit that acts as your credit limit, and credit cards designed specifically for those with little or no credit history. As you gain experience and improve your credit score, you may qualify for better cards with more benefits.
How many credit cards should you have?
Each credit card often comes with its unique advantages, such as cash back, travel rewards, or specific discounts. By using multiple cards, you can take advantage of these benefits according to your spending patterns.
Advantages of carrying multiple cards
Maximised Rewards
Different credit cards often have different reward structures. By using multiple cards, you can earn more points, cash back, or travel miles based on where you spend. For example, one card might offer 3% cash back on groceries, while another gives 2% on gas. Using each card for its best category helps you maximize your rewards.
Improved Credit Score
Having multiple cards can help your credit score if you manage them responsibly. It increases your total credit limit, which can lower your credit utilization ratio (the amount of credit you’re using compared to your total credit limit). A lower ratio is generally better for your score.
Emergency Backup
If one card gets lost or has fraud issues, having another card means you can still make purchases without interruption.
Special Benefits
Some cards offer unique perks, like travel insurance or shopping protections. By having multiple cards, you can take advantage of these benefits based on your needs.
Risks of carrying multiple cards
Increased Debt Risk
With more credit cards, it can be tempting to spend beyond your means. If you're not careful, you might accumulate debt on multiple cards, leading to financial strain
Higher Interest Payments
If you carry a balance on several cards, the interest charges can add up quickly, making it harder to pay off your debt. Each card typically has its own interest rate, and these can be quite high.
Payment Confusion
Managing multiple due dates can be complicated. Missing a payment on any card can lead to late fees and negatively impact your credit score. Keeping track of when each payment is due is crucial.
Credit Score Impact
While having multiple cards can improve your credit score if managed well, applying for many cards in a short period can lower your score. Each application results in a hard inquiry, which can suggest to lenders that you're a higher risk.
Other Common Types of Credit Cards
In addition to cash back, credit-building and interest-saving credit cards, there are other types of credit card products that may better fit your needs.
Travel Reward Credit Cards
For those who want to earn points or miles for travel-related expenses, Travel Reward Credit Cards allow you to accumulate rewards for flights, hotel stays, and other travel costs. When you use these cards, you earn points for every dollar spent, often with higher rewards for travel purchases. Many cards also offer significant sign-up bonuses if you meet spending requirements within the first few months, alongside additional perks like travel insurance and no foreign transaction fees.
Balance Transfer Credit Cards
Credit cards for balance transfers are designed to help individuals manage existing debt by allowing them to transfer balances from high-interest credit cards to a new card that offers a promotional 0% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for a limited time, typically between 6 to 18 months. This feature enables users to avoid interest charges, allowing more of their payments to go towards paying down the principal balance.
Student Credit Cards
Student credit cards are designed to help young adults build credit history and gain financial flexibility with accessible features like lower credit limits and fewer qualification requirements. These cards serve as educational tools, teaching students about credit management, budgeting, and the importance of timely payments, which are crucial for establishing a positive credit score for future financial endeavors. Additionally, some student credit cards offer rewards such as cash back, making them attractive for everyday purchases.
Business Credit Cards
Business credit cards are designed for small business owners to effectively manage their expenses by separating personal and business spending, making budgeting and tax preparation simpler. They often come with rewards programs that provide cash back, travel points, or discounts on business-related purchases, helping to save money. Additionally, using a business credit card responsibly can establish a credit history for the business, which is beneficial for future loans or financing. Many cards also offer tools for expense management, such as employee spending limits and detailed reporting, enabling business owners to monitor and control expenses more efficiently.

Credit card rewards come in many forms, the two major incentives are air miles and cash back. Many card issuers have different credit card rewards programs, cardholders can earn reward points for their spending and redeem the points for cash back, air miles, gift vouchers or free gifts.
Certain banks promote cash back rewards which their credit cards can earn, cardholders can enjoy cash rebates for eligible local/overseas spending or shopping online.
If you travel and use your credit card to book flights and hotels frequently, you can earn more air miles using air mile credit cards. You may redeem miles for award flights, hotel stays and other travel offers.
In addition to daily spending, you may also earn rewards by using the Octopus Automatic Add-value Service and paying utilities, tax, tuition and insurance bills with your credit card and redeem reward points, cash back and air miles.
Many credit cards bring discounts and cash rebates for online shopping, dining offers and even privileges like airport lounge access and concierge service in addition to cash back and air miles. For example, DBS Eminent Card and Citibank Citi Clear Card offer cash rebates of 2-6% for online spending. Regarding dining benefits, numerous credit cards offer attractive cash back and air miles redemption deals for dining spending so that cardholders can earn more rewards by eating out. Premium credit cards with exclusive privileges, which offer airport lounge access worldwide, airport limousine transfer service and other concierge services, have a minimum income requirement.
Some Cashback Credit Card providers require you to spend a minimum amount before you can start earning rewards. Providers may also limit the amount of Cashback rewards you can earn, while others implement caps on how much you can spend for certain categories. It's also common for providers to set an increase in cashback return rates for certain categories within a specified period, which are worth taking advantage of.
The best way to maximise cashback points is to choose a card that lets you earn rewards that matter to you. If you're serious about pursuing cashback rewards, you must make sure to fully understand the terms and conditions of your selected credit card. Terms are always subject to change, so it's important to always stay educated on these.
Yes, but do not send out your applications all at once. Credit card providers can have access to information about your existing credit card applications as part of your credit profile. Having too many active applications at the same time will make you look too 'desperate' and lessen your chances of being approved.
The period varies from bank to bank, but after you submit your application, it would usually take a few days to process. If you are approved for credit, it usually takes 7 to 10 working days for you to get your credit card. To ensure that there are no further delays, fill out the application form correctly and submit all required documents.
The annual fee depends on the bank and the type of credit card. A one- to three-year annual fee waiver is usually offered to attract users, and cardholders get their fee waived if they can meet the minimum spending. Some card issuers even advertise credit cards with no annual fee. You can request an annual fee waiver by calling the card issuer's hotline. Furthermore, many banks charge an early termination fee of more than HK$100; other common fees and charges include a replacement fee, late charge, over-limit fee, cash advance fee and foreign transaction fee. In addition to credit card welcome offers, you should also check with your provider to see the fees and charges of your credit card.

As everyone’s financial background and situation is different, there is no one-size-fits-all credit card. To determine which card is best for you, you will need to consider a variety of factors, including interest rates, types of rewards, as well as the general scope of your purchases. For instance, certain cards may work better for those who travel frequently, and others may benefit more from cards that reward local purchases.
Depending on your financial situation, the ease of getting certain credit cards may vary. Factors include:
Credit Score: Individuals with good to excellent credit scores are more likely to be approved for credit cards. Lenders use these scores to assess the risk of lending.
Steady Income: Having a stable and sufficient income demonstrates to lenders that you can repay borrowed amounts, making them more willing to approve your application.
Low Debt-to-Income Ratio: A lower ratio indicates that you have manageable debt levels relative to your income, which can enhance your creditworthiness in the eyes of lenders.
The best credit card company will vary depending on how you can take advantage of the deals and offers. For instance, American Express cards will reward you greater for overseas spending, making it it best credit card company if you intend to spend your money overseas. Alternatively, if you prefer spending locally, certain cards may provide additional points for loyalty programs such as YUU.
