USA Today reports that many banks are bringing back the ol’ annual fee dinosaur in response to the Credit CARD Act.
If you don’t want an annual fee on your card, writes Sandra Block, go with the not-for-profit option:
If you don’t care about rewards and just want a credit card that doesn’t charge an annual fee, consider applying for a card through a credit union. Many credit union cards charge no annual fee and offer below-average interest rates.
Block has just one thing wrong: American 1 offers ScoreCard rewards, which can earn you travel and gift rewards.
Through the rest of the article, however, Block gives options if your big bank credit card starts charging an annual fee or reducing reward programs.
