Filing complaints against your credit card issuer

26 Sep 2011 | by Porfirio Hillman | No Comments »

One of the hardest things to do is to file a complaint against a card issuer. It is not the process that is time consuming, but the lack of information that makes people frustrated. If you are wary about certain practices adopted by your credit card issuer, the first thing would be to call and speak to the customer representative and voice your displeasure. Unfortunately though, more often than not, your opinions fall on deaf ears. If you have not made any progress despite voicing your displeasure, here is what you can do.

Thanks to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it is now possible to get yourself heard and resolve your issue. Starting July 21st this year, this bureau has become the one place where consumers can look forward to resolving various complaints related to their card lenders.

The bureau will help you resolve various types of problems including credit card fees, billing concerns, interest rate, collection problems, redeeming rewards and many more.

Southwest Airlines has earned many loyal fans for their simple, no-frills approach to the airline business. In 2011, their Rapid Returns frequent flier program underwent a major revision. Inevitably, these changes had a positive impact on some customers and a negative impact on others. In its new form, there are still ways that Southwest passengers and holders of the Southwest Airline Rapid Rewards credit card can maximize the value of their Rapid Rewards points.

Southwest has replaced the credits of their old system with points that are somewhat similar to frequent flier miles. Unlike miles, points are earned and redeemed based on the price and fare class of the ticket. Also, points can be redeemed for any seat on any flight. Southwest has three different fare classes, Business Select, Anytime, and Wanna Get Away.
