They tell you to be responsible with credit, but yet, when you try to be responsible they nickle and dime you. That's why I only have one credit card now. And if they weren't a necessity for plane tickets, car rentals etc., I would have zero cards.

You can say that again. Today I received a letter regarding my MasterCard. Would you believe they shrank the grace period from 30 to 27 days AND raised the interest rate to 29.99%? This is an outrage and the government will do nothing to prevent this practice of usury!
