 TITLE: How to Earn Credit Card Points Fast CONTENT: How to Use Your Card Responsibly\n--------------------------------\nBefore you whip out your card for every purchase, no matter the price, keep in mind that the rewards you earn will only be worthwhile if you use your card responsibly and are able to make payments on time and in full every month. Not doing could result in late fees and interest charges that will cost much more than the value of any rewards points you earn. Not only that, but over-utilizing your card and amassing a balance that's near your credit limit will be a red flag for lenders. Carrying a high balance can lower your credit score and prevent you from taking advantage of other lucrative credit card offers in the future.\nThe key to earning credit card points fast is to find a card that fits your financial habits and racks up bonus points or miles on the kinds of purchases you make the most, and by spending responsibly on day-to-day expenses. By finding a card that offers bonus-earning opportunities and other benefits you can take advantage of, you can start accruing rewards points faster than you think. You can find personalized credit card options through Experian CreditMatchTM to help you maximize your earning. END
