Episode Description
On this
episode of MTM Travel we discuss a proposed credit card fee
settlement that could spell huge changes to travel rewards cards,
merchant fees and which cards are accepted at certain merchants.
This settlement will cut fees and give consumers more choice, but
will it actually fix anything and how will it affect airlines,
hotels and other businesses that rely heavily on the
industry?
We also
discuss: eclipses, dealing with crazy time zones, big Capital One
Venture X bonuses, new restrictive Chase application language,
Shawn's best free cruise score ever & when you can visit the
tallest/fastest roller coaster in the world.
