Worksheet 5.2 - Credit Card Scorecard
This worksheet will help you evaluate different credit card features and determine which card is the best fit for you. 1. In the Priority Rank column (pink squares), rank the listed features in sequence of importance, with 1 being the most important, and 24 being the least. Give consideration to how you plan to use the card and how you plan to make payments. 2. Select three credit cards to evaluate. For each feature, rank the card from 1 to 3, with 1 being the best. Enter the rank in the CC# Rank yellow squares. 3. Score each credit card feature’s comparative ranking by multiplying Priority and Rank. (For each row, Priority Rank * CC# Rank = CC# Score) 4. Total each of the credit card score columns (green). The lowest score is your best fit.
