 TITLE: How to Choose a Department Store Credit Card CONTENT: When Getting a Department Store Credit Card Makes Sense\n-------------------------------------------------------\nA department store credit card could make sense if you're making a large purchase and the card has a promotional interest offer or you'll receive a big discount. But the cards are probably best for people who frequent the store.\nIf you're a loyal shopper, you can benefit from extra savings, increased rewards on purchases, special discounts and the other perks the card offers. Don't let opening a store card keep you from comparison shopping, though. Even after accounting for the perks, the same purchase might be cheaper at a different store. END
