With so many credit card options out there—cash back, travel rewards, low interest—it’s hard to know which ones are actually worth signing up for. Have you found a card that really gives you great perks or solid customer service? On the flip side, have you dealt with hidden fees, bad support, or unexpected interest hikes? I’d love to hear your experiences—good or bad. Which cards do you trust, and which would you never use again? Let’s swap stories and help each other make smarter choices.

Personally, I’ve had decent luck with a couple of travel rewards cards—they’ve covered flights and hotels more than once—but I’ve also dealt with some real headaches: hidden annual fees, sneaky interest rate hikes, and rewards that looked great until you tried to actually redeem them.
One thing that’s helped me lately is shifting how I manage my cards, especially when using them for business. I recently started using carteza.com to streamline payment processing, including card and crypto transactions. It’s not a credit card itself, but it makes managing payments much more transparent and efficient. Especially for small business owners or freelancers, tools like Carteza help reduce surprises and give you more control over your finances.
So yeah, perks are great—but transparency and support matter just as much. Curious to hear what others are using and avoiding!
Some of the points here really hit—credit cards can be helpful, but they come with their own set of headaches if you're not careful. I’ve used prepaid options like Direct Express for certain things, just to avoid surprise fees or overspending. Had a login issue once and reached out to direct express customer service—was expecting the usual wait, but they actually fixed it pretty quickly. Not saying it’s perfect, but it’s been reliable for basic stuff. Sometimes keeping things simple is the way to go, especially if you're just trying to manage day-to-day expenses without all the credit drama.
