Credit card companies are tightening screws on credit access for people with lower than good credit history. In spite of the fact that the Fed dropped down the rate to 1%, most issuers are raising their rates and fees for, what is even more interesting, their existing customers. The reason for that is that banks are trying to recoup from the recent wave of charge-offs.
The operating cost has grown, but the profit margin has shrunk significantly. Reward programs are being cancelled or postponed for better times. Intro periods for balance transfers are getting shortened. It is becoming harder and harder to find balance transfer accounts that will be offering fixed APR for the life of balance.
Additional charges are being introduced to the accounts with a long history of carrying large balances for years. Now a monthly fee will be applied to such accounts that will promote an early pay back or will cover operating cost.

Quick Cash With A Credit Card
What is the best credit card for cash advance?
Credit card offers are constantly changing. It’s hard to ping one down for all times. But there are places on the web that keep track of that kind of things. Here’s one - cash advance credit cards at Credit Card Mix.
What does it cost to get cash advance?
Getting a cash advance with any credit card most of the time is not free! One will be paying some 2 to 4% in fees as soon as an ATM dispenses money in your hands. You probably will not get a grace period to pay off the balance and the interest rate, which will be applied to this transaction, is going to be much higher than to any purchases you make with this card.
To get the Best Credit Cards visit Credit Card Mix dot Com.
