They are also implementing a 3 week grace period requirement once the statement has been issued. Will this work or just become a new headache for Credit Cards? I guess time will tell.

I would gladly give up rewards programs if people were no longer subjected to these ridiculous fees. Most of these costs to the consumer are downright deceitful and unscrupulous.

After salaries and healthcare, swipe fees are the highest expense for small businesses! It is time Washington stands up for the backbone of our country and does something about these fees!

Think about how they would have almost no staff, but still be making money from the interchange fees. If they make 2% from those and give everyone 1% back in rewards, that is the best passive income anyone could hope for.
