10 Credit Card Traps

Credit Card companies are making millions. Visa, Mastercard, MBNA, you name they all make money. Avoid the most common pitfalls when getting a credit card and save your self a bunch of money.

1.

2. Higher Over-the-Limit Fees In 2000, only one card charged a fee of less than $20 to consumers who had exceeded their credit limits. The highest fee was $35.

There are some excellent credit card programs for college students. You need to be careful if you have one, but it is not the responsibility of Washington state poiticians to tell who companies can and can not market too.
