Are we facing terminal failure?
Article Abstract:
UK banks and other credit card issuers are gradually resolving the difficulties associated with issuing credit cards with expiry dates past the year 2000. There have been incidents where retailers' point of sale terminals have refused to accept these cards, as they have not been able to recognize the date. However, compliance levels are beginning to improve. Card issuers warn that problems may arise when UK cardholders attempt to use their card abroad, where fewer terminals may recognize expiry dates past the year 2000.

Pick up a plastic package
Article Abstract:
It is important when choosing which credit card to use to decide exactly how you intend to use the card. If you are likely to be left with an outstanding balance on which interest must be paid, then it is important to closely scrutinize the charges on the various credit cards available. A card which has no annual fee may not necessarily be the best option, as its interest rate may be higher. Careful attention must also be given to the various incentives being offered by credit card providers.
