The catch? These benefits are getting harder to find at many credit card companies.
The companies say lack of interest in these perks is the reason for eliminating them.

“While credit card companies I’m sure are going to be very clever in terms of how they are going to word the benefits of these new changes, it will still end up likely costing the consumer rather than the credit card issuer,” Lowell says.
