CHAPTER 1
Smart Is a Relative Term
6:00 a.m., on the phone while at a payments convention. Boston, Massachusetts.
Polly:Life in the payments world will never be the same again!
Mava:What do you mean? You sound pretty worked up, considering that it's 6:00 a.m.
Polly:I haven't been able to sleep. I was sitting in the middle of the convention yesterday listening to the card associations, payment processors, merchants, and software vendors all arguing over the recent government regulations to keep costs down, and everyone is only concerned about their own interests.
Mava:So what's new about that? Everyone always has their own interests at heart, and it's never been about the consumer.
Polly:This is a day for the record books, girlfriend. Since the first credit card was issued back in 1962, the government has not intervened and actively taken control to stop escalating credit card costs, until now.
The banks are panicked over the money they'll lose, the processors are scrambling for new revenue streams, and the merchants are confused by all this contradictory information.
Mava:So what's the bottom line, Polly?
Polly:More than ever, the consumer needs to understand how to be credit smart — NOW!
What you might think was credit smart yesterday is not credit smart today.
And you are not alone.
Remember when you were so proud of making a large purchase on a zero percent interest rate card and only paying
$33 a month? Not smart!
Here's the reality: the economy has shifted, card offers are changing, and it costs you more to buy on credit than ever before.
Your interests and the bank's interests about how you use credit cards are at odds.
It's in your best interest to pay off your credit cards in full each month. However, it's in the bank's interest (and it's how they make their money) when you do not pay off your credit card in full each month. In fact, we've overheard some bankers

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
