We asked the Bankrate experts: What is your favorite piece of credit card advice?

"I know it’s a hassle, but reading the fine print is underrated. Know what fees, APRs and benefits you’re signing up for. You might uncover extra value from features that aren’t advertised or discover some nasty fees to avoid. When you know what the terms are, it’s easier to get the most from your cards and avoid pitfalls."
