 TITLE: What Is Credit Card Purchase Protection? CONTENT: Choosing Your Next Credit Card\n------------------------------\nWhen you're shopping for your next credit card, check and see if purchase protection and other benefits are available. Just like rates and fees, benefits will vary from one card to the next. Note that credit cards with lots of rewards and benefits usually require higher credit scores.\nNot sure what your score is? Take a look at your free credit score and report from Experian before applying. Every application for a new credit card can cost your credit scores a few points, but you can limit the impact by comparing card features using comparison tools like Experian's CreditMatch™ before you start applying.
