No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have no issues paying annual fees but I guess that's just because I have had really good credit and really bad credit and the fastest way to rebuild sometimes costs some money!
However if credit was never the issue, I think I would be a little more selective with my fees I would pay beyond my Amex Charge

The cheapest credit is a PIF type of arrangement, but if you HAVE to carry a balance it certainly could be advantageous to have a fee based credit card with a low % rate rather than a fee free card with a higher APR. You just have to do the math to see which is better.
In the end, though, the lender computes "return on investment" as a percentage, not just a dollar amount. And the reason is there is a proportionate cost of capital. To make it fee based, they would have to limit your CL based upon your AF in order to make the numbers work.
