In 2009, Congress passed the most substantial reforms in the credit card industry in over 40 years-the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure of 2009 (the CARD Act). The CARD Act addresses many practices consumer advocates- and Congress-identified as problematic. Although the Truth in Lending Act of 1968 mandated disclosure of information about the costs (terms) of credit, there were few limits placed on the pricing practices (e.g., fees) of card issuers. Congress intended the CARD Act, often called the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights, to establish fair and transparent practices for credit cardholders. Put simply, the CARD Act offers cardholders protections that can save them money. Fair practices include lower fees and limits on interest rate increases. Transparent practices include better and timely communication so consumers know how much they are really paying for credit. This article reviews some of the reforms initiated by the CARD Act and their effects on credit card usage and consumer savings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
