Lower Cost than Traditional Credit Cards
Upgrade Card balances have a fixed rate and term so you know when you pay off your balance and can save on interest. Traditional credit cards can keep you in debt with minimum payments that pay back little of the principal balance.
Bring your balance down faster to pay less interest
