Members who have a Century Visa Platinum credit card will continue to earn 2x rewards on purchases this month, just like last month.
This season comes with even more reasons for our Visa Platinum and Visa Classic cardholders to celebrate -- a chance to win an unforgettable getaway to Hawaii.
Did you know your credit card choice can help you save money? It matters more than you might think.
At Century, our credit card rates are a pleasant surprise — significantly lower than what you'll find with big banks or those fancy retail-partnered cards. Every dollar you don't spend on high interest is a dollar that can go straight into your savings account.
A recent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau survey found that big banks charge interest rates 8% to 10% higher than smaller institutions like us. According to the bureau's calculations, this means you could save $400-$500 annually in interest alone by choosing our card.
While major issuers charge median rates between 23% and 28% APR (some even more than 30%), our rates stay consistently low for all transactions — purchases, cash advances, and balance transfers. Plus, we skip the fees that big banks pile on. No balance transfer fees (typically between 3% and 5% elsewhere), no cash advance fees (up to $10 or 5% with others), and no annual fee (averaging $157 with 27% of large issuers).
Choose our card and you can keep more money in your savings with straightforward, affordable rates and zero hidden fees.
Ruth DavisI have banked with Century for a couple of decades. Everything about them is positive, from the friendliness of their employees to the ease of online banking and low credit card interest rates. I will never go back to mega banks.
