How we picked the best credit cards for seniors
How to make the most of these credit cards

Content: At the same time, we were mindful that many senior citizens live on a fixed income, so we also tried to select cards with low interest rates and minimal fees — features that may help you keep your finances under control. How to make the most of these credit cards
To make the most of your credit card, choose the type that’s right for you based on your lifestyle, financial situation and how you plan to use it. For example, if you don’t like to travel, it probably doesn’t make sense to get a credit card that offers travel rewards. But getting one that offers cash back may be a good option. At the same time, securing a card with a low APR may not be a priority for you if you don’t carry a balance. Regardless of what type of card you choose, be sure to read the fine print in your card’s terms and conditions. Understanding how rewards systems and payment schedules work can be the difference between a stress-free credit card and one that leads to confusion and fees.
