Credit Card Thief

By News Minder at 06/12/08 09:48

This is a crazy story. The police caught a man that had 431 credit cards and gift cards from people. Talk about major identity theft.

They say that it really didn't take much for him to use these cards. All he needed were some basic computer skills. That is a little scary.

New Small Business Credit Card

AT&T and CitiBank have launched a new credit card for small businesses. This one is also a "rewards" card like so many others in the past.

These point systems to me are pointless. On other cards you have to have 200,000 points to get a 25 dollar gift card. Now who really spends that much quick enough to get that reward. You get three points to the dollar only for certain stores.

Unless the interest rate is good on these cards, I hope people do not apply for the "points" benefits.
