For myself, I have always been a one credit card person as I never really saw the need in requiring more than one and figured that it would be easier to manage my credit card bill this way too.  Recently, I received a mail for a business credit card and most of them usually emphasize on how I am pre-approved for a high credit limit or that they have a low interest rate.  Neither of those benefits really interests me as my current limit is good enough for my needs and considering that I always fully pay my bills on time the low interest rate is kind of pointless. <\/p>\n<p>What caught my attention about this offer was how they were emphasizing the cash rebate program where you could receive up to 2% of your annual purchases back in the form of credit.  Considering the volume of purchases that I do in a year, this actually got me thinking as it does seem like a good benefit.  Currently, I receive airmile points for my purchases and to be quite honest I personally think the rewards compared to how much I spend is pretty low when you look at it from a dollar value.  Like always though, you shouldn&#8217;t jump into anything hastily and I will definitely be reading all the fine prints.  We&#8217;ll just have to wait and see on whether or not I will be carrying two credit cards in the future.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like many others, I constantly receive mails and offers from companies who want you to sign up for their credit cards.
