Back-to-school season is here, and parents everywhere are helping their children get ready for another year in the classroom. Amid all the excitement, it’s easy for consumers to get carried away with school spirit—and even easier to rack up credit card debt. From clothes to supplies to electronic devices, expenses—along with possible interest and fees—can pile up quickly.

To help parents get high marks on their credit card spending this year, CardRatings.com, a leading credit card review and comparison site, releases the guide: 6 tips for saving on back-to-school shopping with credit cards.

CardRatings provides tips on how consumers can leverage their credit card usage when making back-to-school purchases, such as by taking advantage of 0% APR introductory offers and cash back benefits. The guide includes advice on budgeting, buying bulk items, and bargain hunting.
