Top Recommendations for Credit Cards

When discussing what a credit card can offer, Dr. Credit Card has developed a theory of 4 P's: Promotions (signup bonus), Points (rewards earned from spending), Perks (travel and other benefits), and Protection (travel and consumer coverage). Each of us may find one P more important than another, thus may choose one card over another. So when it comes to the best credit card(s), there is no one-size-fits-all answer. With that being said, by popular demand Dr. Credit Card have developed a Top 10 List, based on a comprehensive analysis of all 4P's for each credit card.
