Reading the COMMENTS responding to the article will disabuse you of this notion. Early responders were negative about all card payments, all annual fees, and the higher merchant fees and interest rates associated with rewards cards. For many people a credit card is a way to borrow money, not a convenience, and not a rewarding experience.
