No More 2% Rebate for the Priceline Visa?

Barclays, Cash Back Cards

Priceline Rewards VisaAre the days of earning at least 2% cash back on all purchases for the Priceline Rewards™ Visa® Card numbered? For existing cardholders, the answer to that question is unclear.

What does seem to be the case, however, is that the previous, excellent offer that earned 5 points per $1 spent on “Name Your Own Price” transactions at Priceline.com and 2 points per $1 spent on all other transactions is no longer available to new customers.

Stay-At-Home Spouses and Partners To Soon Enjoy Easier Access To Credit

General

Consumer Financial Protection BureauStay-at-home spouses and partners should soon find it easier to get a credit card. Following through on changes originally proposed last fall, the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau just issued a final rule to amend Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act. Under the amendment, credit card issuers are no longer required to consider a consumer’s independent ability to repay a debt. Instead, issuers are once again allowed to consider income and assets that an applicant, who is 21 or older, has a “reasonable expectation of access.” This means that consumers should soon be able to apply for credit based on household income once again.

Upgrading to the PenFed Platinum Rewards Visa Signature May Mean a Downgrade in Benefits

Pentagon Federal

PenFed Visa SignaturePenFed has recently been sending out notices in the mail to many existing cardholders of the Penfed Platinum Rewards Visa card that they will soon be automatically upgraded to a Visa Signature card, touting such benefits as complimentary concierge service and other perks.

The new Visa Signature benefits do appear, however, to come at a cost–while the current Platinum Rewards Visa earns 5 points per dollar spent on gas, 3 points per dollar at the supermarket and 1 point per dollar on everything else, the Visa Signature card would only continue earning those rewards through 10/31/31. Afterwards, the Visa Signature card would only earn 3 points per dollar on gas, 2 points per dollar at supermarkets and 1 points per dollar on all other purchases.
