A credit card is only an automatic way of offering credit to a consumer. Today, every credit card carries an identifying number that speeds shopping transactions. Imagine what a credit purchase would be like without it, the sales person would have to record your identity, billing address, and terms of repayment. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, "the use of credit cards originated in the United States during the 1920s, when individual firms, such as oil companies and hotel chains, began issuing them to customers." However, references to credit cards have been made as far back as 1890 in Europe. Early credit cards involved sales directly between the merchant offering the credit and credit card, and that merchant's customer. Around 1938, companies started to accept each other's cards. Today, credit cards allow you to make purchases with countless third parties. <a href="http://cardwebsite.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Credit Card Website</a> Credit is a method of selling goods or services without the buyer having cash in hand.

I think its hilarious how the card does not even have a 'classic' program where it donates e.g. '1% of each purchase' to a Cause. Its when a Green Credit Card isn't Green. Great Article though!
