flag Report highlights credit card 'fee inequity,' benefiting wealthier users over middle and lower-income individuals.

flag Economist Alexei Alexandrov's new report highlights a disparity in credit card benefits, with middle and lower-income individuals paying more in fees than they receive in rewards, unlike wealthier individuals who benefit more. flag Alexandrov suggests this "fee inequity" can be addressed through promoting buy-now-pay-later programs, financial education in schools, merchant discounts for cash payments, and fostering competition from fintech firms. flag However, economist E.J. flag Antoni disagrees, cautioning that capping fees could limit credit access for those with good credit scores.
