Can I use prepaid credit cards just like traditional credit cards?
Prepaid credit cards work exactly like the traditional unsecured credit cards. Make sure that you know what your credit limit is. Your credit limit will be what you send into them. You can use them just like a credit or debit card to get hotel rooms, gas, or whatever else you may need.
How do gas cards work are they considered cash or credit?
Give it to the cashier as a ATM.
How do you get a credit card if your credit rating is low?
One way is to get a secured credit card, which means that you "load" the card with what you expect to spend. It's not really credit in that sense, so I'm not sure why many people do it. If you're not in a hurry (and with a low credit you shouldn't be in a hurry to get a credit card), you can start small by getting cards that are easy to obtain, like gas cards and cards for local retailers. Make small purchases and pay the balances every month. That will build your credit to a point where you can get a larger credit card.
I have 4 cards one for gas one for food one for vacations and another for emergencies Ideally speaking how many credit cards should you have?
Not bad. You sure have your priorities laid out there. Most experts and credit card service companies assure us that there is no universal tab on the number of credit cards that you can own. You could carry, say, 10 credit cards and have excellent credit; or just one with terrible credit. The amount you spend and can pay off is what matters most. But a good average is between three and seven credit cards.
What are the best company credit cards on the market?
On the market, the best credit card companies for first-timers are Chase and Bank of America. Additionally, if those don't work for you, then you should try store cards like Target, or even gas cards.
