Auto companies have recently reported sales figures for the month of December and full-year 2009. For nearly all, the numbers are better. The numbers are also not particularly good.
Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) posted a nice 33.5% increase for the month compared with December 2008. Toyota (NYSE:TM) and Honda (NYSE:HMC) also posted monthly gains of 32.3% and 24.5% respectively. General Motors and Chrysler posted monthly declines of 5.7% and 3.7% respectively.
Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
