Consumer Watch: Be wary of instant-credit offers at checkout
Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:00:00 -0500
The offers have been everywhere this Christmas season, as in holiday seasons past: Apply now for a new credit card and get money back for today's purchases. But, as Lauren Bornfriend of Mount Airy discovered last week, "instant credit" may not be as instant as you'd expect, or as it was during the freewheeling era that ended with last year's credit crunch.

You might worry about not recovering from any turbulence in time. As with retirement funds, however, there are 529 options for investors of every stripe. That means that even if your child is just a few years away from college, there could still be reason to open an account. If your child is a college freshman, you could sock money away for the final years of schooling.
