Seven Credit Card Company Secrets
Let’s get one thing straight right off the bat: We’re not against credit cards! We have a few ourselves, and we use them all the time. They’re a wonderful convenience and for some things – such as online purchases – they’re now essential.

No matter what your situation … whether you carry credit card debt or pay off your balance every month (if you do, way to go!) … the card issuers make it sound like a marriage made in heaven when they solicit your business. But they never tell you how much it will cost you down the line, in dollars
and tears.
So we’ll tell it like it is: The credit card companies are in business to make money – and they want more of your money.
