One of the things I’ve noticed myself doing more of on the rare instances when I venture out of my apartment during the coronavirus crisis is that I’m either reaching for a credit card more often, or using Apple Pay, instead of paying for items with cash. Doing the latter means getting change, and it feels like more of a risk when you’re handling money back and forth while we’re all supposed to be practicing social distancing (which is why Apple Pay and contactless payment options are an especially great service right now).
Bottom line, right now is a great time to take stock of your credit card situation and consider whether you’ve got the right piece of plastic that rewards you for daily purchases such as gas, groceries and dining out. When it comes to choosing the right credit card for these expenses, consider which one is going to give you the most bang for your buck.
