Part Two–Evaluate
Analyze the offers and answer the following questions:
1. How do credit card companies determine the amount they’ll give you as a credit limit? Credit card companies assess your credit limit by taking into
account your credit score, income, credit history, and existing debt.
2. What are the penalties for late payments? Late fees, increased interest rate, and a negative effect on your credit score can be the consequences of not
making timely credit card payments
3. Which offer presents a better deal for the consumer? Explain why. Discover is currently providing an outstanding offer to customers by increasing the
cash back rewards for every transaction.
4. Choose one of these two credit offers that you think is the best fit for your lifestyle. Explain why. As a student, I find that the Capital One option tailored
to student benefits is the most suitable choice for me.
5. How can the use of credit impact you positively and negatively? Utilizing credit can have both positive and negative impacts on your life. On the bright
side, having credit enables you to purchase items that you may not have the immediate funds for, such as a car or a house. It can also assist you in
establishing a favorable credit score, which is crucial for obtaining loans in the future. When you use credit prudently, it can simplify your life and aid you
in reaching your objectives. However, there are also drawbacks to using credit. Overspending or failing to pay your bills on time can result in debt, which
can be overwhelming. High interest rates can make it challenging to settle your debts, thus harming your credit score. Therefore, while credit can be
beneficial, it's essential to use it cautiously to avoid adverse repercussions.
