Unsecured personal loans: A better alternative to credit cards
Plastic money is not only convenient to use but people also feel good when using it. The downside is that the credit card companies charge a very high interest rate in case of credit cards. If you want to enjoy the benefits of unsecured finance without having to pay high interest rates, you can look for some other better choices. Unsecured personal loans are one of them. Like credit cards, these loans also do not require any security and you are free to use the loan amount in any way you want. The biggest advantage is that the interest rate is quite lower when compared to credit cards. So, you may consider switching to unsecured personal loans to gain some advantage.
Unsecured personal loans are very much popular in the UK financial market. According to the results of a research carried out by a price comparison service site, many British women have become reliant on unsecured finance in order to fund their spending. The research reveals that women in Britain have unsecured loans amounting to a whopping twenty billion pounds, and this is apart from a further four and a half billion pounds outstanding on their overdraft facilities. It was observed that the British women use the major part of their unsecured funding for shopping, fashion and beauty.
Online lending has added another feather to the already competitive UK financial market. Now, people prefer taking out loans through online channels. They do not have time to personally meet various loan officers from different companies to get a loan. It is easier for them to apply with a reputed online broker, who can give them a number of options (loan plans) to choose from. There are many lenders who provide unsecured personal loans at competitive rates. So, if you have made up your mind you can contact them online and get some of the best loan deals available in the market.
Chase Credit Cards Online
Online credit card applications seem to be the in thing and Chase too offers online credit card application facility. Here, ‘Chase dot com credit cards’ refers to the chase credit cards that can be applied for online. Just for those who don’t know, ‘Chase’ is a brand that is owned by JPMorgan Chase & Co. (a leading global financial services firm).
By ‘Chase dot com credit card offers’, I mean the credit card offers that are available at chase dot com. Obviously, ‘Chase dot com credit cards’ would be regulated by chase. Again, as with any other credit card supplier, ‘Chase dot com credit cards’ on offer would be changing too.
Anyways; one night, before going to bed, I thought of just checking the chase dot com credit cards section. Here is what I found:
There is a separate Chase dot com credit cards section. As I browsed through the Chase dot com credit cards section (the online application ones), the first one I encountered was called ‘Chase Cash Plus’ or the ‘Chase Cash Plus Rewards’. These promise faster rewards and offer 5% earnings on gas and on purchases made at grocery-stores/drug-stores. For other shopping venues, it offers 1% earnings. These earnings can be in the form of gift certificates or cash.
The next on the Chase dot com credit cards section was the ‘Flexible rewards Visa signature card’. Here you earn a point for every purchase of $1. You can keep collecting these points and then finally redeem them for your choice of things (like cash, travel, gift certificates or some kind of merchandise). The redemption can start at 2500 points (and you get a bonus of 1000 points once you make the first purchase). Moreover, this one doesn’t have any annual fee either. So that was the second one in the Chase dot com credit cards section.
Moving on in the Chase dot com credit cards section, I found ‘Free Cash Rewards Platinum Visa card’. This one, as the name goes, offers cash rewards. You can get a $25 check or a gift certificate on redemption of 2500 points. Since there is one point earned for every $1 spend, this mean that you effectively get 1% cash back on these cards.
I had started loving browsing through the Chase dot com credit cards section. So I moved on to the next one in the Chase dot com credit cards section. The next one on the Chase dot com credit cards section was ‘Chase Perfect Platinum MasterCard’ which doesn’t limit you to getting rebates only on a particular brand of gasoline; instead, you get rebates everywhere. ‘
Chase Platinum MasterCard’ was the next one in the Chase dot com credit cards section. This one offers online account management i.e. monthly statements, bill payments etc can all be done online (also you don’t have any annual fee on this one).
There were few more cards on Chase dot com credit cards section and one especially caught my attention. This one was at the bottom of Chase dot com credit cards section and was called ‘Check Gallery Platinum Visa Card’. Here you could choose the design of your card from those available e.g. cowboys, smileys etc.
By now, I was so sleepy that I really had to shut down my computer and go off to sleep.
