In fact, to me a credit card is a credit card and there's not much in changing it for me.

The 18% fees are just brutal and have really put a lot of young people that I talk to into some serious debt (mainly their own fault of course).

I just signed up for a new credit card and transferred a balance for a 0% APR and paid a 3% up-front fee. At least that's less than the 18% I was facing. No joke on the balance transfer fees.

I agree that you have to double check the 0% interest balance transfers o see if there are any fees attached. More and more are doing that. Great job on the post Tisha!

Glblguy, hope that finger improves! Too bad to see those credit card reward programs dropping off. For the disciplined, running recurring expenses through a credit card is a nice way to score a few bonus points without adding too much additional risk. Tisha, great post!
