Great post – everyone that signs up for a credit card should understand each of these main points before they begin to accumulate debt on their card. Might change some spending habits!

Funny you wrote about this today…

I arrived home from work to find a letter from Capital One whom I just paid off a few months back. It was a bill for a $29 “membership fee.” I have had that card for years and NEVER had a mem fee. They must have instituted it in the fine print when they notified me of the increased rate about 4 months back.

I’m still not sure if I’m going to try & raise cain or just pay it & be done.

I’ll probably write about it on DFA & see if I can get any solid advice.

The card holder contract pretty well give the CC company the right to do ….. whatever they want. Yes, the recent reforms have banned some particularly abusive practices. Amen to that. It’s only a matter of time before they cook up newer and crazier ways to mooch of off businesses and consumers.

I don’t care what the product or service, I won’t sign anything that one sided.

I never understand why people think the credit card companies owe them something. No one forced us to use the cards and even when they jack up the rates we agreed that it was okay for them to change those things when we wanted you to!

I hope everyone is now 10% wiser than before the recession.

It really is true that when we use credit cards (especially if we carry balances) that we are handing over some serious control over our finances to someone else.
