What is a credit card? Sounds like a basic question, but here is an addition to what you already know. If you know how the infrastructure and system behind the credit card works, directly go over to the next paragraph.

A credit card company basically provides the people with the digital cash technology, through what is known as a credit card. A credit card is not simply a piece of digital cash but it is basically a sort of credit creation facility, given to the user, by the company. When you swipe the credit card, the credit card company bears the cost of transaction that takes place, at the time of payment. At the end of the month, you need to reimburse the cost of the transactions and payments that you made trough the credit card, during that month. In addition to the reimbursement, the company also charges you with a service charge for bearing the costs. These charges are always a bit more than the current interest rates. Basically, there are several methods for quick and easy approval of credit cards.

Good Credit History
One of the most common methods, is checking the credit history. Credit history is basically, a record of all credit-related transactions carried out in the past, which indirectly decides your creditability. The better the credit history, the faster is the approval of the credit card. Hence, the key to obtain easy approval is having the best possible credit history. In addition to the credit history, if you want easy credit card approval, then you also need a proof of your income or the projection of income, if you are self-employed.

Secured Credit Card
An alternative way to get easy approval, is a secured credit card. A secured credit card is a facility where you have to pledge an asset with the credit card company, to get the card approved. This facility is accepted and favored by the credit card companies, as in case of a default of payment, the company remains in a position to sell off the asset in order to recover its losses. The facility of the secured credit cards is also very helpful to the applicant, as the upper limit of the credit card is also drastically improved. In the case of bad credit ratings and history, the security or the asset that is to be pledged is made compulsory. A drawback of this type of credit card is that, the default payment and any late payments, are both fined. The fine can sometimes be an outrageous amount, from the point of view of the credit card user.

Extra Service Charge
Some of the credit card companies also undertake the risk of easy card approval, even if the applicant has a bad credit history and the loan is not secured. However, in such cases, the service charges that are levied by the company are pretty high.

To get easy approval, one needs to approach all credit card companies and get their brochures and the terms and conditions of the credit card facility. You can also use the calculators available on the companies' websites, to calculate the exact expenditure that you would incur while getting the easy approval.
