ParticipantCount me in UCG. I have noticed when I carry cash, I spend less because it seems to make me more aware of the real cost. I spend less frivolously than when I pay with a credit card, even though I pay them off at the end of the month.

ParticipantActually, the rewards programs and the miles programs have always bugged me because the people who profit the most from them are the ones who probably need the help the least, and then the people who have less money end up paying more for airline tickets to compensate for the freebies (which are not really free).
I used to wait tables and every time a celeb would dine there, the restaurant would comp their check. That always used to bug me as well, not like they could not afford to pay their check.
Anyways, blah, blah, blah

ParticipantThis is just lobbying / PR crap. The credit card companies are under fire for borrowing at very cheap rates and charging very high APRs to customers who actually carry balances.
They are just trying to scare ‘good’ customers into having legislators back off by ‘imposing’ fees. If they want to try it, go ahead. Good customers are in demand so they will walk if they can.
