Credit Card Rates Steady for Just Third Time in 2006
No change in average credit card rates this week, just the third time this year that rates have not increased week to week, according to the weekly IndexCreditCards.com Credit Card Monitor. Nevertheless, average rates have increased over one full point in 2006, so this week's lack of movement certainly couldn't be called a trend.

Average rates stand at:

• Non-reward consumer credit cards: 13.82% (The average rate for consumers with the very best credit is 10.91%.)
• Reward credit cards for consumers: 15.23%. (The average rate for consumers with excellent credit is 12.83%.)
• College student credit cards: 16.04%.
• Business credit cards without rewards: 11.46%
• Business credit cards with rewards: 13.57%

Financial institutions represented in the survey include Advanta, American Express, Bank of America, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Discover, MBNA, National City, Providian, Pulaski Bank, U.S. Bank, Wachovia, Wells Fargo and more.
