[QUOTE=superclare1000;10384661Also why are the APR interest rates so hidden in Germany credit cards? In UK and canada the interest rate was basically the biggest thing shown on marketing etc[/QUOTE]

Because most Germans don't live on credit and pay back the balance at the end of the month without any charges. The most important thing in Germany is how much the card costs per year (and what kind of point collecting possibilities exist).

UK/Canada/US citizens seem to be more likely to use the card for financing, so the APR is more important for marketing.
