I have the PC debit card. How does the credit card work? Can it be used anywhere or just with PC? Do you know the interest rate.

I was thinking about getting one for when I need PC things in between commission checks.
 
Charge it up baby!It is a regular credit card that you can use anywhere.

I love it because when I go to conference, I put my flight, hotel and all expenses on the credit card, then I don't have to worry if I lose receipts!! You can also submit your shows on the credit card if you choose, but I don't I just use my debit card for that!

Do you know the interest rate?
 
I believe...it is based on your credit history but I could be wrong. I never noticed on mine because I never pay interest. I always pay it off in full. Sorry about that!

That's probably what I would do too. I was just thinking of getting one to use for only PC things when my PC account is low in between commission checks and shows.
 
Mine is at 0% interest..but I always pay it off each month.
