More transparency is always a good thing, but would people read a guide by a credit card company explaining what each of the features of the card means? My money is on most people putting it in the same place as the 12-page terms & conditions booklet - i.e. the bin!

McDonalds tut tut :rolleyes: I dont think the OS forum would be pleased to hear that, when you could of had a nutricious homemade meal.
Apart from that yep i totally agree that more transparacy is needed - if people understood the sort of interest they would repay on a credit card at 28.9% or what have you, they may think again and be able to fairly assess what credit card is suitable for them.
But then the credit card companies wouldn't want to truly illustrate what a bad deal they are offering would they
But if McDonalds are taking the plunge then surely the banks should aswell!0
