Airline credit cards (also known as frequent flyer credit cards) are a great way to augment the miles that are earned from flying on a favorite airline. Other ways to earn often include using the services of preferred airline partners, such as participating hotels and car rental agencies. And, if the airline credit card is used to make these types of purchases, it is effectively double dipping, allowing the cardholder to get the maximum number of miles possible.

The new bankruptcy law that was passed by Congress and signed by the President will go into effect on Oct. 17, 2005. But what does it mean to consumers and is it a good thing for the country? The law is entitled "The 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Reduction Act" and is an attempt to curb loopholes in the current bankruptcy code that has enabled some people to avoid repaying credit card and other types of personal debt that could have been repaid. Key provisions within the law will do just that by requiring means testing prior to a consumer being able to officially file for bankruptcy. |
If you have significant credit card debt, you might want to consider credit card debt consolidation. A credit card debt consolidation loan can help you consolidate the outstanding balances on your credit cards into one loan or onto one credit card that has a lower interest rate than the ones you are currently paying. If you are paying high interest rates on your current credit cards then it might be wise to do a balance transfer onto another credit card or cards that have a low interest rate |
new credit card innovation has arrived which will make going through the check out line a little faster for Chase cardholders, and definitely more profitable for JP Morgan Chase. The new credit card technology involves a remote scanning system that allows cardholders to breeze through lines at participating fast food drive-through locations, convenience stores and drugstores. The list of participating locations is relatively small at present, but is expected to grow exponentially over the coming years, as consumer demand is anticipated to eventually force the conversion of existing retail payment platforms to the new credit card scanners |

And, if you are like many of us that have the Starbucks addiction, the daily cost of a Starbucks habit can not be considered insignificant. So rather than cutting back on such a "necessity" in life, perhaps you should consider making it more affordable with a little help from your everyday credit card spending. |
With the deadline for the new bankruptcy law nearing, credit card delinquencies continue at an all time high. U.S. families are finding themselves deeper and deeper in personal debt, and yet they are encouraged to keep on spending to "help the economy." The recent hurricane victims in the southern gulf states have had to rely on credit card spending and the lenient repayment terms offered by national banks to survive. This has put focus on a frightening reality of American consumer life - that fully one third of adult Americans have zero personal savings. Absolute zero. |
Credit card company Visa reported that, according to its latest data, 2006 holiday retail sales look to have missed prior estimates, despite a last-minute jump spurred by sharp merchandise discounts. |
As debit card and credit card purchases become increasingly popular, check and cash payments continue to lose out.
