Consider the acceptance rates of credit cards
from different issuers. It's essential to choose
a card that is widely accepted, both domestically
and internationally. Cards from major payment
networks like Visa, Mastercard, or American
Express tend to have broader acceptance. However,
it's crucial to verify the card's acceptance in
specific regions or countries you plan to visit.

5. Annual fees
When comparing credit cards, take into account
the annual fees associated with each card. Some
cards have no annual fees, while others may
charge a substantial amount. Consider the card's
benefits, rewards, and features to determine
whether the annual fee is justified. If the card
offers valuable perks or rewards that outweigh
the fee, it may be worth it.
