A number of savvy consumers who have credit cards do not pay interest. Annual fees are something that one should be able to recoup through the rewards and benefits...it is the reason I don't give up Platinum- I can recoup my $550 through the various benefits without jumping through hoops or playing the retention game.

If you decide that you don't want the benefits that come with a card, then more power to you.
