Six Credit Card Traps to avoid Six Credit Card Traps to avoid Contact Us 4. Missing payments Be careful, with some credit cards, if the bank does not get full payment the day it is due or before you will be charged interest in the full balance. The best way to ensue this does not happen is to arrange to have your credit card bill paid monthly by direct debit or internet banking, that way you never miss a payment. 5. Purchasing goods overseas When you use your credit card overseas you will usually incur two fees: the first is the bank's fee. The fee is often associated wit currency conversion and may be called something like a "currency conversion fee." The second fee is charged by the credit card company. When combined, thee fees can add up to 3% (perhaps a little more) onto your purchase price. It doesn't seem much, but 3% added onto your overseas trip can become quite a large sum of money. 6. Lodging security Sometimes, when you use your credit card to book overseas travel-related items,you will be charged interest immediately; e.g. if you use your card to book a hotel room for a trip you are to take three months' time, you may be charged interest from the time of booking rather than the time of staying in the hotel. In a similar way, if you rent a car overseas the trader ma reserve an amount of credit to secure their payment or to cover any possible damage to the car etc. That means, you may find when you use the card it has less credit on it than you expected despite you having actually bought anything. Most people know nothing about the lodging security until it's too late. If you are travelling overseas with your credit card, or using it overseas with your credit card, or using it overseas from within New Zealand, it pays to find out first, what the various conditions of use are. So, these are Futurisk's six credit card traps. One thing we cannot stress enough- avoid credit card debt. What if I'm already in debt? If you find yourself struggling with debt right now, contact the team at Futurisk. We may be able to restructure your debt in a way that savs you hundreds, even thousands of dollars. Credit card can be dangerous! Many people in New Zealand today find themselves buried by inescapable debt that can be traced back to being overzealous in the use of their credit card. Sure, credit cards are handy. They provide an easy way to purchase things online or if you don't want to carry cash around with you, but it's so easy to forget when you buy something with your card, you are incurring a debt. And, once you get into credit card debt, it can be very difficult to get out of. That's why the team at Futurisk want to remind you of the six credit card traps you need to watch out for: 1. Extra Credit Every credit card will have a credit limit - that's a maximum amount you can have owing on your credit card at any one time. When you first received your card the issuing bank will told you what credit limit is. As time goes by, the bank will offer to increase this limit for you - particularly if you have been paying your card off each month before the interest payment clicks in. BEWARE: this increased limit will immediately increase the chances of you overspending. That's what the banks are hoping for....to get you into debt so that they can make money off the interest you owe. There was a time when banks didn't even give you a choice about the increased credit, they just put it on your card and called it a, "privilege." The law has changed, however. These days banks should ask if you want the extra credit. If the bank approaches you to ask if you want to increase your credit limit, decline their offer 2. Cash advances Here's something a lot of people don' realise. When you buy goods with your credit card there is usually a one month credit free period, BUT, when you get cash out on your credit card you begin to pay interest immediately. A void using your credit card to et cash out of the bank. 3. Card payment surcharges Have you ever gone to use your credit card and had a vendor tell you it will cost you extra to put purchases on a card? That used to be illegal. These days it's considered acceptable provided the vendor tells you about the surcharge before you use your card. I still think it's a bit on the nose, however, and I refuse to pay such surcharges. Wether you do or not is up to you, but be aware, the surcharge is usually a percentage of the purchase price of our goods. That means, on a large item the surcharge can be quite high and can easily wipe out any saving you thought you were making. View next post At Futurisk, we work for you, not the insurer.

I have attached some photos as well. Thank you again. Clyde and Kath Life is sacred Life is sacred and we must do all our best to keep ourselves healthy and strong. But, even in this day and age of advanced technology and medicine, we still cannot guarantee an eternal life or a life that is free of any health issues. In one form or another, our body will just suddenly contract a disease that is unexpected to us whether it is through our doing or just a freak of nature. We see this every day on Facebook. On my timeline, I saw friends, family, relatives, colleagues and classmates in the past and current who suddenly got ill or who suddenly died. And I felt that there is no age, no economic status nor education can save us from neither illness nor death. And I am no different from them. I am just another human who will one day get ill or die. And then I looked at my life and saw my 5 children whom I brought to New Zealand. What will happen to them when I am gone? How are they going to cope in a foreign land all by themselves? That’s when I decided to get a Life insurance. And then one day, I met Financial Adviser of Futurisk Insurance through his son . He advised me that it is also good to have a little bit of help from the insurance while I am alive through the medical condition covered (i.e. progressive care). At least I don’t have to wait to die before I can enjoy the benefits. So that’s when I learned about Sovereign from where I took my Progressive care and Income protection. Then after less than a year of joining Sovereign, a regular smear test changed my life forever. I was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. It was so shocking and unexpected. My life was put on hold. I suddenly stopped working and stopped worrying about bills and everything else around me. All I focused on was to deal with pain and the treatment the Doctors advised me to go through. I was lucky to have met my financial advisor and got my Insurance cover because when I got diagnosed with cancer I felt someone has my back covered for my bills and my extended absence from work. I reached out to my medical condition and work protection cover. It was such a relief that there is someone or something that I can lean on in this difficult time of my life. All I can say is thank you to Futurisk for helping me get my insurance application processed. Insurance is an extra expense but an expense worth spending every dollar for yourself and your family’s future, most especially in times of your need. Loisa Reyes Auckland Best available plan Being a highly-organised and trained planner, and a very practical person to boot, I made sure I acquired different types of insurance so that I will have peace of mind. I saw how Carmela was hardworking and so driven with her job as a financial advisor and I wanted to boost her sales apart from making sure I got covered in all aspects of my life. Knowing that I just about done this, Carmela offered me the best available plan. She wasn't really after making a few bucks from me but showed real concern so I can experience the best benefits. She was even able to convince my husband to get the same insurance coverage. Kudos to Carmela, I now look at financial advisors and insurance coverage in a different light. More power!!! Mayette Cope-Sant Palmerston North Made the process easy I have multiple insurance policies via another insurance provider when I happened to have a discussion with Carmela regarding my search for the right Medical insurance plan for me and my Family. Not only had she gone out of her way to accommodate my crazy schedule, She also made sure that I was aware of the pro's and con's of each product and she really made sure that I had the best fit for my family. About a year after I had signed on with her - I was hospitalized and went into emergency surgery. Not only did Carmela visit and made sure that I was ok, She also made sure I was aware of the other benefits my medical cover had for me. I felt I was more than just a paying client and I felt that I was looked after. I received my renewal for my medical insurance this year and I was more than happy to renew my policy after the outstanding level of customer service I had received from Carmela. She is most definitely an asset to Futurisk and an amazing person to be on your side when facing extreme difficulties. She made the process easy and the policy comprehensible. I am now looking at transferring all my other insurance policies with her since she had shown me exactly how a policy holder is meant to be looked after!
