When You are Ready to be On Profit... Credit Sources

Personally I use the Mary Kay REWARDS Visa (for my business) and a sperate Mary Kay REWARDS Visa (for personal purchases) because they give me CASH BACK with no annual fees! Since I pay off my balance monthly, this is found money! You can apply for the MK card on www.marykayintouch.com


If you need a card right away they may take too long to get (two to four weeks), but if you have another card you can put your purchase on, go ahead and apply for a rewards card, and when you get it you can transfer your balance. Or apply for a card you can get approval on more quickly (see below for ideas) and do the same thing... transfer the balance later.

Applying For Credit
Making the right choice for you!

Applying for credit cards is sometimes not a simple process! If you wish to apply for a card, you first must know what your credit is like. For instance, if you are over-extended heavily or you have a history of constant late payments, you probably will not be approved for a regular card. You may need to apply for a First Premier, Capital One or Providian as they have different cards for people that have less than great credit scores. Keep in mind if your credit is not good, and you are accepted for a card, you may have to pay a higher interest rate because you are considered a "High Risk". Don't let this discourage you. Go ahead and get some credit established in your name even if it is a higher rate. After 1 year of excellent payment history, you are often able to re-negotiate a lower rate. The better your credit gets, the more you can apply for a lower credit. All credit is "score driven". A score of 700 - 720 or above is considered to be excellent! From 650-700 is pretty good but if its 650, it is usually starting to signal that you may be over-extended or close to your maximum. Anything lower than 650, you will have to find a card that is especially for those wishing to re-establish poor credit. Cross Country Bank and First Premier are excellent cards for people that have poor credit, although First Premier also has cards for people with excellent credit. They are perhaps the best 2 companies that help people with poor credit. You will have to pay a one time processing fee, and possibly another fee, but well worth it to establish or re-establish your credit. Don't get hung up on the numbers if your credit is not good. Below are several cards that you can apply for. Of course, your bank is sometimes even better as you already have a relationship established with them. Some people may need a co-signer (or co-applicant) to help them out to get started. If you have someone who believes enough in you to help you get started, - it's ok. Its a way to get you going. Anything is better than sitting doing nothing to change your circumstances! When National Sales Director Pamela Shaw started her Mary Kay Business, she was $16,000.00 in debt. She was turned down by bank after bank, after bank - but she didn't give up. She persisted and found a bank that would loan her the money to get started - at a rate of 28%! She didn't let herself get hung up on the rate because she knew that this business could get her out of debt - and it did! She is now a National Sales Director and 8 years in a row in the Million Dollar Achievement Circle! Was it worth it for her? You bet! That certainly doesn't mean you would pay that today. There are so many different rates available today that weren't available 10 years ago. Shop around but keep in mind that if you have poor credit, you will be paying a higher interest rate.

So often I hear of so many women tearing up their credit cards due to a divorce, etc., which leaves them now with no credit! This is the worse thing you can do because no credit is worse than bad credit. If you have no credit - it is very hard to get something established & you will be turned down constantly because "you have no credit history". Its very frustrating being turned down over and over because of "lack of credit" and you will find yourself asking "how am I supposed to get credit when no one is willing to give me a start"? It is best to keep just 1 credit card if you find yourself in a bad situation. At least you are keeping some credit in your name. Not having a Checking Account is a RED flag to everyone that you are a very high risk and a poor money manager which means no one will extend credit to you. Consider learning how to manage money better, and develop better skills by taking a course in basic accounting or money management to help you understand the importance of mastering this crucial skill. If you have never "balanced" a checkbook - now is the time to learn! Poor money management is the number #1 reason why Consultants fail! Don't let yourself get caught in this situation.

Many women will start their business with their own credit card, then transfer the balance to a new card once it arrives in the mail. The Mary Kay credit card is a great option if you have a card that you can begin your business with, and then transfer the balance over to it. The wait however, can be 14-21 days for a typical credit card arrive.

This is a credit card option is you do not currently have a credit card. It allows you to have a credit card immediately.

Interest rate is variable depending on your credit rate, 0% for 6 months, variable rates go up to 8.24-19% youll need to ask, what you would go up to.

You get the answer same day, or if its late in the day, youll get the answer late in the day.

If you dont specify, youll have to wait for the card in the mail it will take 10 days to get. Please let them know you want the card over night, it costs $15 to arrive Monday through Friday,

$30 to arrive on Saturday. They take the fee out of your credit limit that you get for your card. ( This is extremely worth it, in not having to wait the typical 3 weeks you would have to wait for other credit cards)

The card is shipped UPS or FED EX. It is important that you say to them that you want the overnight service, or you will not get it.
