Money.com Editor Says Avoid Retail Credit Cards
Margaret Magnarelli, assistant managing editor at Money, recently published a piece that should remind us all of a moment we've all had when standing at the check out and asked if we'd like an added discount to our Nordstrom purchase if we would just complete an application for their store credit card.
