What You Should Know About The CARD Act
Recently the CARD act took effect, which means that cardholders will be able to get relief from double cycle billing and arbitrary rate increases. In addition, the CARD act promises that credit card bills will be much easier to read. However, with the new act comes a new series of rules and regulations that savvy consumers should know about.
First,there is a possibility that consumers may find that they are being slapped with a variety of charges and new fees. This is because creditors have already been implementing new fees aggressively or raising ones that already did exist to try to make up for any revenue that could be potential lost as a result of the CARD Act.
Some examples of these fees are Discover's new 2% fee on all purchases made outside the United States, and a bump from 3% to 5% fee for rolling over a balance from one credit card to another.Because there are no restrictions on the types of fees creditors can implement, cardholders should pay extra close attention to the "Terms and Conditions" section of their statement so they know what exactly they are being charged for.
In addition, credit will be harder to come by. The amount of credit that was available to consumers by card companies went down about 7% between March and September of last year. And it will only tighten further. According to the CARD Act, credit card companies are going to be extremely restricted in their marketing techniques that target college students, which can potentially cut down on an important part of their business.
Thus, consumers with a mediocre or bad credit history will determine that it is way more difficult to get a card or have their credit limit extended.
Also expected are fewer rewards. Issuers are becoming more stingy with their rewards in an attempt to save money. For example, American Express told its consumers recently that they would not be able to accumulate reward points on their purchases if they were late with a payment. To avoid missing out, analysts caution that consumers should carefully read any notices they get from their credit card company about changes to their rewards or loyalty program.

Indeed I must confess, that as to the people of Lilliput, Brobdingrag (for so the word should have been spelt, and not erroneously Brobdingnag), and Laputa, I have never yet heard of any Yahoo so presumptuous as to dispute their being, or the facts I have related concerning them; because the truth immediately strikes every reader with conviction. And is there less probability in my account of the Houyhnhnms or Yahoos, when it is manifest as to the latter, there are so many thousands even in this city, who only differ from their brother brutes in Houyhnhnm-land, because they use a sort of a jabber, and do not go naked? I wrote for their amendment, and not their approbation. The united praise of the whole race would be of less consequence to me than the neighing of those two degenerate Houyhnhnms I keep in my stable; because from these, degenerate as they are, I still improve in some virtues, without any mixture of vice.
