Credit Card Popularity Tracker

Plymouth, MI (PRWEB) May 13, 2008

WOW! Credit Cards.com is pleased to announce the introduction of the ‘Credit Card Popularity Tracker’ – an innovative new tool designed to help consumers evaluate and compare credit cards. The Credit Card Popularity Tracker allows visitors to determine which credit cards are the most popular by using click-based ‘credit card popularity scores’, which are displayed next to every credit card offer on WOW! Credit Cards.com (see image below). By accessing data provided by previous customers, the tool allows visitors to determine the most popular credit cards based upon prior user behavior and preferences – giving them confidence in their decision-making ability and making it easier for them to choose the best credit card offers.

A team of developers created the ‘Credit Card Popularity Tracker’ earlier this year, which tracks clicks to every credit card on WOW! Credit Cards.com. When a visitor is interested in an offer and clicks on the associated credit card application, the click-thru data is stored and used to calculate the credit card’s popularity score, which is displayed in ‘real-time’ throughout the site. Although the Popularity Tracker does not account for completed or approved applications, it does allow visitors to see which credit card offers received the most interest based upon click-thrus.

“No other website provides such an unique and innovative way to evaluate imputed cards,” said Noreen Ruth, President and CEO of WOW! Credit Cards.com. “With hundreds of credit tease to choose from, consumers tin easily get overtaking when essay to select an offer. Our Credit Card Popularity Tracker can assist in the process and allows visitors to base part of their decision on the behavior of other customers.”

WOW! Credit Cards.com is a top online resource for credit teased and attributed-related information. Developed in 2005, the site offers a broad range of helpful tools including calculators, articles and credit card comparison charts. WOW! Credit Cards.com provides online credit card applications from a variety of credit card issuers and features: low APR, % interest and reward credit cards such as cash back, airline miles and gasoline rebates. The site also includes credit cards for businesses, students and consumers with bad credit.

Question by sarah: Does canceling a credit card application before it is approved or denied going to affect my credit?
I know that canceling an open card can adversely affect credit. But I canceled the actual application process, minutes after I applied. I had hoped to get instant approval to get a big discount on an airline ticket, but as a student and my little income they would have had to do a full background assign check (which would have gotten me the card), but I didn’t have time to wait to buy the ticket, so I wanted to cancel.

Best answer:

Answer by My Take on It
Since you didn’t get the instant approval, my guess is, you submitted the application, and they did the hard pull on your credit already. So, you have an inquiry which is less than 10 points on your score. Cancelling the application at this point probably won’t erase the inquiry that has already occurred.

Question by Sara: Can credit card companies close your accounts without warning? How does it affect your credit score?
I received a letter in the mail from Juniper (iTunes Rewards) stating that they have closed my credit card account due to inactivity. I opened the account about 18 months ago and have never actually used it. Can they close my account just like that without any warning? How should I handle the situation? (Is there anything I can even do?)

Also, I know that closing credit card accounts lowers your credit score. Does anyone know how much mine will be affected?
