Sport-bike giveaways

YOUNGSTOWN

Two area Kawasaki dealers are giving away new sport bikes to wrap up their summer promotions.

Anyone wishing to enter the drawing has to visit a dealership and ask for a “ticket to win.”

All tickets must be decoded in-store and registered online before Sunday for a chance to win.

The two locations in the region are Johnny K’s Powersports, 420 Youngstown-Warren Road in Niles, and Northstar Power Sports Kawasaki, 1490 North Hermitage Road in Hermitage, Pa.

Each dealer will announce its giveaway winner in August.

Credit card aims to minimize ‘gotchas’

new york

It’s a credit card that grants three wishes.

Citigroup plans to launch a credit card today that marries a trio of perks — no late fees, no penalty rate and a single interest rate for purchases, balance transfers and cash advances.

The revamped Simplicity card will be marketed to those who are juggling busy schedules and want a credit card with simple terms, said Jud Linville, CEO of Citi Cards.

But as attractive as the card’s features may sound, there are a few reasons to think twice before applying.

One of the biggest drawbacks is the card’s 16.99 percent interest rate.

The Simplicity card also doesn’t offer any rewards, which can be a deal breaker for some. Or it may turn out you won’t qualify for the card.

CardHub.com, which lets consumers search and compare card offers, lists the Simplicity card for those with “excellent” scores of 720 or higher.
