Most of my CC's already have the new payment application provisions in place. Make sure you understand the T&C's for your accounts and avoid making minimum payments while carrying a large debt load. Your issuers are paying attention to what you're doing!
I am going to pay my bills the old fashion way, I charge I pay. I knew the terms and conditions going in. It might take me 4 to 5 months longer to pay, but I will have paid every cent that I owe. In regards to my T&C... At this point I don't care what the credit cards do. If they want to close my accounts because I am paying the minimum then that is up to them. Eventually I will only need 1 or 2 credit cards anyway. About a year ago, the month after I made a $5k to BofA to bring my balance to $0 they closed my account. To me its a lose lose situation with CC companies.
