Recovery Watch: Charge Card Mail Has Increased Dramatically
Credit card mail may seem like spam, but it could be viewed as a sign that the consumer credit industry is beginning to loosen. According to Bankrate, it’s as if the waves of recession are almost rolling back. Witness the numbers: from Q4 2009 to Q4 2010, credit card mail offers climbed from 551 million to 1.4 billion, states Mintel Comperemedia.

Credit standing out in the sea of offers
Some of the new benefits to charge cards are things like; no transfer fees, extended low introductory rates, and no foreign transaction fees. Waiving balance transfer charges is among probably the most popular features. CreditCards.com states that Senior Vice President Andrew Davidson of Mintel stated that corporations will do whatever it takes to stand out above the rest. According to a recent Bankrate study, 15 bank credit cards and 25 credit union charge cards eschew balance transfer charges. For banks that did charge interest on balance transfer charges in 2010′s fourth quarter, the mean rate was 3.06 percent.
Working to be your intercontinental champion
Another area where charge card issuers compete for business is the foreign transaction (aka currency conversion fee) arena. Transfer charges and APR fees are above important for any person who travels for business purposes or for pleasure. The typical 3 percent surcharge on foreign transactions can cost quite a bit before the trip is over. Past year a study conducted showed that over 90 percent of bank cards consist of this type of fee. Now several large banks are waiving those transaction charges, such as Citibank, HSBC, and Chase.
Extended introductory rates, another bonus
Some credit card issuers push a zero-percent Annual Percentage Rate initially for a while, to try and get individuals to purchase into their card, this is known as an extended introductory rate. The teaser rate offered by credit card typically exceeded 13 months in the fourth quarter of 2010, reports Mintel. According to Davidson, that number is anticipated to grow.
“The squeeze on credit observed during mid-2009 is being reversed, and many issuers are now offering durations of 15, 17 or 18 months or more,” he told Bankrate. “We have even seen offers with 24- and 30-month intro rate durations in recent months.”
Credit card laws have kept the interest rates even lower
Credit card interested rates have been maintained due to The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act (CARD). Mintel reports that fourth quarters average Annual Percentage Rate was 14.03 percent. “Many credit card companies have contrasted their APRs against the relatively high prime rate as a consumer draw,” said Davidson.
