The merchant-bank complex is so stacked up against the consumer that typically the only *easy* way to deal with unwanted charges is to cut your card in half with a scissors.

A credit card is different from a debit card in that it does not remove money from the user's account after every transaction. In the case of credit cards, the issuer lends money to the consumer (or the user). It is also different from a charge card (though this name is sometimes used by the public to describe credit cards), which requires the balance to be paid in full each month. In contrast, a credit card allows the consumer to 'revolve' their balance, at the cost of having interest charged. Most credit cards are the same shape and size, as specified by the ISO 7810 standard. http://usacreditcards.cn/ A credit card is a system of payment named after the small plastic card issued to users of the system.

There's a very simple explanation for this behavior: Age. Younger consumers -- who are more likely to research their credit card needs online, typically have lower income than older (ie, over 40) consumers -- are more likely to be looking for low interest cards.
