Citi sent me a special offer letter to enroll for a 20% bonus on eligible cash back purchases with my credit card until 1/31/2011. Initially, the 20% really caught my attention. I thought it was going to be a 20% cash back on my purchases. After reading the fine print, I noticed that the 20% bonus only applies to the 1% base cash back, for a total of 1.2% cash back on the credit card. Nevertheless, an extra 0.2% cash back is still better than none.

Having a good credit history is one of the most important things in your financial life. Anyone who has ever struggled with poor credit will tell you how difficult it makes their life. People who have no credit or poor credit have a more difficult time getting loans but they also may have a harder time doing other things like renting a place to live. These days your credit history is checked for a long list of transactions because it indicates whether or not you are someone who pays their bills on time.
So, even in cases like renting an apartment where you are not actually borrowing money from someone your credit history will come into play. On top of that, your credit history dictates what type of rates you will receive when you apply for loans or other forms of credit. Having a good credit history can mean the difference of hundreds or even thousands of dollars spent on interest.
If you do not have any credit, it is much easier to build a positive credit history then it is to repair one that has been damaged. That is why it is so important that you constantly remain vigilant when it comes to maintaining your credit file. No one cares more about your credit history then you do, so you should absolutely make it your business to stay aware of any potential pings to your credit file and your current credit score.
