 frontline: secret history of the credit card: interviews: andrew kahr | PBS
So the subprime card is generally a card with a significant fee to initiate the account, plus a substantial annual fee -- $49, $80, whatever; very limited line of credit [of] a few hundred dollars; and it tends to have late penalties and so forth, like the prime cards.
So if subprime cards were a relationship, a product where you burn through the customer, he goes bad, and you have to go out and find another set of customers, for example, or wait for another generation, then it would be very bad and exploitative.
Card accounts are always going to generate far more complaints per thousand accounts than checking accounts, because with card accounts, you have people going over their credit lines, people who are being dumped because they are late.
