Maximize Your Credit Card Rewards—Without Going Into Debt

Credit card rewards can be an excellent way to get something back from your spending, but they shouldn’t lead you into debt.  The key to maximizing rewards is paying off your balance in full each month. Otherwise, the interest you pay on your balance will quickly negate any rewards you earn. Use your rewards credit card for everyday purchases you can afford to pay off, and watch the rewards add up without falling into debt.
