Episode Description

On this episode of MTM Travel we discuss President Trump's new proposal to limit credit card interest rates. Is it possible to pull of this order plus what will be some of the unintended consequences of lowering and capping interest rates. Plus is the credit card system good for consumers? In other news we also discuss why Mark picked up the Spirit Airlines credit card, a big airline merger, the better Chase Freedom Unlimited offer, maximizing IHG's United perk, Hyatt's rough policy change and how traveling makes kids perhaps a little too independent.
