I don't do debt, so I do not use the Visa. I didn't even apply for it. I use my PC debit for all PC purchases and to pay for shows and I use the debit card attached to my PC checking acct from my bank to pay for all business expenses.
 
I don't carry a balance.
I use it ONLY to pay for shows.
So, I get a small % back and don't get charged any fees.
 
I pay mine off every month. I have no idea what the rate is.
 
I have the same rate, and it is pretty high for someone with decent credit (not that I am saying mine is). My plan is also to pay it off every month, so as not to get the fees. The rewards are nice, though I haven't figured out how to redeem them just yet.
 
I have the PC card and am very happy with it. I basically only use it for my business and the monthly rebates are nice - like extra $$ in commission. The bottom of my statement says 9.24% finance charge on purchases and 19.99% on cash advances. I always pay it off when it comes, so I don't have the finance charges. Hope that helps.
