Credit Companies are shady, TransUnion just settled a lawsuit for selling info. They’re offering free reporting as part of the settlement (eventually) so you’ll be able to check your report for free and without the ding. More info at http://www.listclassaction.com Good Luck

On a side note, I’m fairly certain most new accounts will continue to have the 5% for at least 12 months before getting it switched to 3%. But still… Damn.

Excuse my potty mouth. Thanks for the warning Mr.Norris.

Guess what? American Express can’t hack the increase in gas prices either. They’re scaling back the SimplyCash for Business Card from 5% to 3% in July. (Just got a mailing yesterday) Word of warning!!!

Good solid info and advice, thank you for a great post. Getting a credit card is only half of it though–you really want to be very, very careful about which card you get and how you use it. But great basic info on how credit card companies make their decisions.
