Credit Cards Right

Welcome to MSN Money's Play Your Cards Right quiz. We couldn't afford Bruce Forsyth, so instead Mr APR above will guide you through. The idea is simple: we'll give you the name of a credit card and its APR. All you have to do is guess whether the next card's APR is higher or lower than the present card. All APRs were last checked on August 10 2007. All APRs are standard rates and do not include any discount or introductory rates.
