YOUR COMPUTER AND CREDIT CARDS
Computer owners may be familiar with a well-established,
home finance software product called "Quicken." The latest
release of Quicken 6.0 extends a new credit card service
that has some merit. Quicken now offers a VISA card account
(issued by Primerica, Newark, Delaware), which coupled with
the Quicken software allows users to either download their
monthly statement by modem or receive it on a floppy
diskette.
The advantage of this service is that it allows Quicken
users to load their monthly credit card statement
information into their Quicken database with only a few
keystrokes. For Quicken users who use their credit card
frequently, this is a good service. The cost of the
downloaded statement is $36 per year and the statement on
diskette is $54 per year. For those whose time is valuable,
and whose time isn't, this is a very cost effective service.
A word of caution, this is a "Trojan Horse" credit card
offer (see section on Credit Card Fees). This is not a good
credit card for consumers who carry a monthly balance as it
uses the two-cycle average daily balance method to calculate
interest charges. Otherwise, this is a very attractive and
innovative offer.
