Do it yourself credit card reform --

1). Pay the balance off in full every month.  This way you get
    that 0% APR -- lowest interest rate of all major cards ;-)
2). Get a Discover Card -- no annual fee.  Zero is less than most
    any other number.
3). Use said Discover Card for EVERYTHING.  Get back 1% on
    all purchases this way.  If you REALLY use it for everything
    this can add up.
4). Use said Discover Card to extort discounts for paying
    cash from time to time.  Get up to 5% off from smart
    merchants, or get 1% back from Discover plus 25 days use
    of someone elses money.  I saved $500 on a hot tub that way.

The way I see it, this pays in SPADES.
