What credit card fees do you pay? When looking for a credit card, it’s not just the interest that can add up. Consumers need to pay close attention to the fees that can be tacked on as well.
CreditCards.com surveyed a representative sample of the 100 of the most widely held general purpose credit cards to find out what fees they had. They then came up with a list of those with the most and fewest fees.
“More than anything, this survey proves just how important it is for people to shop around for cards,” says Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst for CreditCards.com, “because the difference between a card with no fees and a card with nine fees, or 12 fees, is a significant one.”
