Banks May Focus on Fees for Debit Cards
There's been a lot of media attention lately focused on the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act and its regulation of how lenders issue and manage credit cards. However, it appears that the effect of the legislation will reach beyond credit cards to another popular form of plastic.
According to a recent story from CNNMoney.com, many banks may be turning their sights to debit cards as another revenue stream.
Starting in February, new rules will limit lenders' ability to arbitrarily increase interest rates and other fees on credit cards. Furthermore, consumer credit issuers that change interest rates on cardholders will be required to review the increases at a later date, which could result in the lender having to reduce interest rates to a lower level.

While many airlines offer enticements of frequent flier miles, there is a second prevalent option - travel credit cards - for discounting your airline travels. There is a very solid reason that these travel credit cards are so popular for avid travelers.
These travel credit cards - i.e., those with a feature that lets you earn air mileage discounts as you make purchases with your travel credit card - offer a double dipping opportunity. What this means, simply, is that you now have two ways to earn mileage discounts with the same trip - if you use your travel credit card to book the flight. You can earn credit not only towards your flight, but also towards an auto rental or a hotel room. You can also get mileage credit for purchases with your travel credit card that are not flight-related, such as meals and shopping from retailers.
