You must also understand that with the offers provided by co-branded credit cards, you might get tempted to spend more than you actually require in order to earn reward points and achieve milestones.

With this you might end up with a hefty bill that you can also afford to repay leading you to a debt trap. Hence, you must always evaluate your financial situation and whether or not you really require the credit card so that you can make a wise decision and avoid any unnecessary burdens.
