Episode Description

On this episode of MTM Travel we discuss a proposed credit card fee settlement that could spell huge changes to travel rewards cards, merchant fees and which cards are accepted at certain merchants. This settlement will cut fees and give consumers more choice, but will it actually fix anything and how will it affect airlines, hotels and other businesses that rely heavily on the industry? We also discuss: eclipses, dealing with crazy time zones, big Capital One Venture X bonuses, new restrictive Chase application language, Shawn's best free cruise score ever & when you can visit the tallest/fastest roller coaster in the world.
