Thoughts on Frontier Airlines

Posted on Sunday, 14th February 2010 by admin

For our flight to Denver Colorado, we flew via Frontier Airlines. This is the first time that we have flown Frontier and I say that I’m quite impressed with them (at least compared to United or other US carriers). For one, they have a TV screen at the back of every seat. So it was relatively simple to keep our kids occupied. There was nothing outstanding about the airline stewardess or stewards. And meals cost an arm and a leg if you buy them on the plane. Mrs Credit Card had packed peanut butter and ham and cheese sandwiches. Coke (or rather Pepsi) and drinks are free.

The one thing that I did not like was that I thought the plane was a little stuffy. I

Do I need a credit card for college?

Posted on Sunday, 14th February 2010 by admin

With all of this talk about credit it is hard for high school and college students to weed out the good information and advice from the bad information and advice. Some people preach that credit cards are evil and that there is no need for a student to have one. Other people say that every person over the age of 18 needs to have a credit card. So which is correct? Do college students need a credit card to get by?

The truth is that no college student ever absolutely needs a credit card. However, if you are a student thinking about getting one there are some major pros and cons.

Millions of Americans have sought and received a free credit report under the FACT Act amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

While there are a ton of online sites offering ‘free’ credit reports, there are really only three major credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian (which used to be TRW) and TransUnion.

If you go to one of their sites ( www.experian.com, www.equifax.com, www.transunion.com ). You

What Is Up With This Anti-Credit Card Rant?

Posted on Wednesday, 10th February 2010 by admin

I like to think of myself as a pretty big consumer advocate. I can and do call out banks on their outrageous credit card practices. I strongly supported the CARD act and would have supported an even tougher law. You know that someone is taking their feelings too far when even I start to roll my eyes.

Credit Card Protester Takes Campaign To MSNBC

The story in the Huffington Post wasn’t too bad, but watching the video was downright painful. I don’t know who was worse, the protesting consumer or the sycophantic TV personality and his terrible questions. Where do I begin? For one, why would you protest credit cards at ATMs? I have never, in my entire life, used a credit card at an ATM. Check cards and debit cards, sure, but you get the worst possible rate when you withdraw cash with a credit card from an ATM. Secondly, most of my credit cards come from banks who don’t have ATMs. I suppose there might be an American Express ATM or a Capitol One ATM somewhere, but I haven’t seen it. The stupid stickers that these people are putting up are, at best, a minor nuisance to remove for the people who service the machines. At worst, they are probably just going to end up as litter in the parking lot. Finally, the entire interview is devoid of any mention of the CARD act, which takes effect in just a few days! How could you possibly talk about this subject, at this moment in history, and not even mention CARD?

What Does This Guy Want?

Amazingly, he is able to articulate five demands. Let’s take a look:
