Fed Makes Credit Card Agreements Available Online

General

As one of the provisions of the Credit CARD Act, credit card issuers are now required to post their account agreements online and to supply them to the Federal Reserve. This week, the Fed used this information to debut a searchable online database of credit card agreements at www.federalreserve.gov/creditcardagreements/.

More than 300 card agreements are represented on the site, as all issuers who have more than 10,000 accounts are required to submit this information and update it quarterly. Each agreement contains general credit terms and conditions, along with fee and pricing information. If you need to find your agreement, the database allows searches by issuing bank, which you can usually find on the back of your credit card or your monthly statement.

Delta Amex: First Bag Now Flies Free

American Express, Travel Cards

Delta Air Lines just announced it will waive its fee on the first piece of checked luggage for Delta American Express cardholders beginning June 1, 2010. This benefit extends to cardmembers with an Amex Gold, Platinum or Delta Reserve SkyMiles credit card.

Delta will waive the $25 checked baggage fee on the first piece of checked luggage for up to nine people on the same reservation, but is not applicable to oversized or overweight bags. As Delta points out, that equates to savings of up to $50 on a round-trip ticket or $200 for a family of four. Cardholders will automatically receive the baggage fee waiver at Delta upon check-in for all Delta and Delta Connection flights.
