Want to make a potentially expensive trip affordable? Many times, the first focus is on airfares. One way to bring air travel costs down is by earning frequent-flier miles through everyday purchases with airline credit cards. You'll find they are not all precisely the same. Benefits and potential costs might be similar, but it takes careful shopping to determine which one fits best with your spending patterns and travel needs. Remember: you should not use an airline credit card to accumulate travel rewards unless you are able to pay off the monthly balances. Interest rates tend to be high, and borrowing money this way will more than offset any rewards you might receive. If you're still with me, take a look at the potential benefits and frequent drawbacks of 10 airline credit cards tied to frequent-flier programs. .Airline Credit Card Choices originally appeared on About.com Budget Travel on Sunday, April 1st, 2012 at 16:55:19.Permalink | Comment | Email this

pAs you've probably heard, Monday was the first day under the new credit card rules outlined by the CARD Act. These rules have a far-reaching impact that will affect almost every consumer. Some of the biggest changes have to do with over limit fees and interest rate increases. These were two methods that credit card companies used to generate billions in revenue each year./p pHave you ever wondered why there's a credit limit on your card if you're able to still make a purchase that puts you over the limit? For the most part, it was so credit card companies could stick you with a $35 or higher over the limit fee. Granted, you shouldn't go over your limit anyway since that can severely impact your a title=credit score href=http://financialplan.about.com/od/creditdebtmanagement/a/FICO-Credit-Score.htmcredit score/a, but the fact that they allowed you to go over your limit and then charge you a fee to do so was a sore spot for many people. Now, that has all changed. The ability to spend above and beyond your credit limit is now an opt-in feature, so if you want to be able to charge more than your limit (which I don't recommend) you have to call your card company and request it./p pNot only was the over the limit fee a costly mistake for people, but the dirty trick of raising interest rates without warning and even applying it to your existing balance was even worse. Instead of just costing you a one-time fee for maybe $35 the increased interest could literally cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Thankfully, this is another rule that has changed to benefit consumers. Now credit card companies cannot raise the rate on existing balances. So, if you have a $2,000 balance that you acquired while your interest rate was 12% and your card company wants to increase your interest rate to 25% that new rate will only apply to new purchases, not your existing $2,000 balance./p pFor details on the rest of the changes and how they will affect you be sure to a href=http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://credit.about.com/od/consumercreditlaws/ss/Credit-CARD-Accountability-Responsibility-Disclosure-Act-2009.htmcheck out the detailed guide outlining the CARD Act/a./pp style="background:#f5f3ef;border:1px solid #d5d0bf;clear:both;padding:.5em;"a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://financialplan.about.com/b/2010/02/23/new-credit-card-rules-take-effect-this-week.htm"New Credit Card Rules Take Effect This Week/a originally appeared on a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://financialplan.about.com/"About.com Financial Planning/a on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 11:51:47./ppa href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://financialplan.about.com/b/2010/02/23/new-credit-card-rules-take-effect-this-week.htm"Permalink/a | a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc#038;zu=http://financialplan.about.com/b/2010/02/23/new-credit-card-rules-take-effect-this-week.htm#gB3"Comment/a | a href="http://financialplan.about.com/gi/pages/shareurl.htm?PG=http://financialplan.about.com/b/2010/02/23/new-credit-card-rules-take-effect-this-week.htm#038;zItl=New Credit Card Rules Take Effect This Week"Email this/a/p
