Silver Credit Card

The lowest in the hierarchy of precious metal named credit cards, silver credit cards have been around since the conception of credit cards in the mid-1950s. Today silver cards have been surpassed in prestige by gold credit cards and platinum credit cards and so have more commonly come to be known as 'standard' or 'basic' credit cards.

Silver credit cards are meant for those who love to indulge in shopping, dining, holidaying, etc. These are basic cards, being offered to people to making the cash handling easy. With the power of credit card in your pocket, you can shop even when you don’t have money. However, this does not mean that you don’t have to pay afterwards.

silver credit cards are shoppers’ card that offer discounts in the form of reward points. On every purchase, cardholders get few points, which they can spend at specified joints, once accumulated in reasonable number.
