Bad Credit Cards

RateCity.com.au will help you spot the bad credit cards and avoid the traps of the trade.

Credit cards can seem like every wallet's best friend, offering us the most convenient ways to carry and spend money, but bad credit cards can ruin any shopping day.

A bad credit card could simply be one that doesn't suit your needs. Even the most popular ones with the lowest rates could give you a headache if you keep exceeding your limit, and the ones with the world's best rewards programs could cost you hundreds if you're a light spender.

Bad credit cards can come in many disguises. Watch out for companies offering uncommonly low rates. Some of these are only introductory, slamming you with high rates after a few months, while others could triple the rate after a single late payment.

Good credit cards understand borrowers, and give you reasonable features that suit different types of spenders.

Below are some of the best credit cards, all with some of the lowest rates in Australia, so you know you're getting the gems.
