I am sure it will not help the us economy either. It’s like the anti stimulus package. I guess people that have extra money will just pay it, and everyone else will just stop using the cards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903336.post-67552314963716360512008-05-09T12:58:00.000-04:002008-05-09T12:58:00.000-04:00You're right on target, Dave.

That used to be free of fees, then the banks began tacking on "service" fees for use of a foreign ATM, and for using the card as debit in supermarkets and elsewhere. The Credit Union told me when I signed up to use the card only in credit mode, or I'd get charged service fees.<BR/><BR/>Robert Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036104537938344475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903336.post-49387874301686259762008-05-09T10:08:00.000-04:002008-05-09T10:08:00.000-04:00This really is crazy.The credit card industry is t...This really is crazy.<BR/>The credit card industry is the only business in the United States that has the ability to change the price of something after you have purchased it.<BR/>This type if behavior is not beyond Chase or Capital One who have also been accused of unfair changes in terms.Cayo Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15987361594608889802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8903336.post-21048007832597282572008-05-09T09:29:00.000-04:002008-05-09T09:29:00.000-04:00Cayo Dave - I have 2 Citi cards and I also got the...Cayo Dave - I have 2 Citi cards and I also got the opt out notice.<BR/><BR/>I have seen my interest rate decrease in the past few months - one is now at 7.99%, the other 8.49% so I am wondering why too.
