		If neither contestant guessed all the cards on his or her row correctly, another toss-up question was asked and the same procedures were followed until someone cleared the row or the fourth question in the round was asked.
		Card Sharks was revived for 13 weeks in the fall of 2001, but was not well received by critics due to its gameplay, which was changed from the 1978 and 1986 versions.

		After the Big Money Cards, players could use any jokers found in the deck to help them win a new car; later, this was changed to a question read about the 10-member polling group, with a player winning the car for guessing the number exactly.

	The Business of America is Business: Card Sharks
		A shark is a shark, even if it wears a suit and works in a building with marble floors.
		It may appear that because credit card borrowing preceded bankruptcy it also precipitated bankruptcy filing, but if the credit card was being used as a source of credit of last resort, this correlation would not support a causal inference.
		Populist rhetoric likening credit card lenders to sharks in suits devouring blameless borrowers is not just disingenuous, it distracts attention from the fact that "credit cards" is a two-player game with rules not wholly favorable to either party, rules designed to protect each from the depredations of the other.

	The Bulletin Online - Card Sharks
		Hinsley says that credit card companies are also in the very bad habit of mailing statements out at the very last minute: “Federal law requires that credit card issuers mail your statement at least two weeks before the due date, so companies have to resort to other tactics to get you to pay late.

		While some credit cards advertise their services as being “priceless”, the best advice is to read the fine print on a credit card application and find out exactly who you are dealing with.

		Hotel card keys would, obviously, contain a "serial number" (to identify the individual physical card); a room number that the card is programmed to open; and the beginning and ending dates for which the card is valid.
		When the card information is lifted and placed on hotel key cards, it can be used not only at point of sale and at ATMs but also in association with accomplices working at stores, banks, and credit card companies.
		Loyalty cards issued by grocery stores (used to gain information about which products are selling at which locations to which groups of customers) or slot club cards issued by casinos (used to track the play of gamblers) could just as easily be used for this purpose.
