Foster City, CA – August 21, 2019 – CardRatings.com, a leader in credit card ratings that maintains information on more than 700 credit card offers, commissioned a survey asking cardholders about the practice of credit card churning. While it isn’t illegal, it can violate credit card terms and conditions – especially if someone tries to sign up for the same card multiple times to get bonuses. What did the site learn? Here are the top findings:
- What is churning? Only 40% of cardholders know what it is
- Only 11% of cardholders use the practice
- Those that churn? 26% say it's not worth it
- Men are slightly more likely to say it isn’t “worth it” than women (29% vs 22% of women)
- Men are twice as likely to engage in the practice - 15% of men do vs. less than 7% of women
