their service? Like they're doing us a favour? Nah, just cos it's got to the stage where it's become impossible to even book a flight without a credit card, doesn't mean they're doing us a favour by giving us one of theirs and charging plenty to use it.

I know this might be shocking to people who spend all day in front of a computer, but we are moving to a more paperless society and that includes money. Somebody needs to service these paperless transactions. Thus, the credit card companies provide this service. It might not seem like a traditional service like getting a bus ride or getting waited on at a resturant, but it is still a service. It's not good or bad, its just reality. Just like ticketmaster. Somebody needs to distribute tickets. And they distribute tickets with the most efficiency. I get pissed off at the high fees like everybody else, but its reality.

PS- If you pay off your credit cards immediately, they don't charge you anything.
