Credit Report and Credit Score Online

The new rules restricting aggressive credit card marketing on campus, included in the CARD Act of 2009, seem to have reduced the practice, says a report from Credit.com.

The report cited a study from the Federal Reserve that showed, for instance, that the total of new credit card accounts opened by students decreased 17 percent from 2009 to 2010.

But while some of the more overt on-campus marketing ploys (like offering free T-shirts and pizza to students who sign up for cards) are no longer allowed, a quick online search shows that card offers aimed at students are still plentiful.

Many consumers consider bargaining or negotiating prices to be rude.

They think that trying to get a lower price on a new or used car will offend the car salesman.

This is an unfortunate attitude because haggling is a well-established artform among businesses.

In business-to-business transactions, the customer always tries to get the best price possible from the seller. No one gives a hang if it is considered rude or not.

New and used car consumers would do well to adopt the same attitude in order to secure better deals for themselves. The state of the Economy today actually makes it easier to negotiate a better deal on a car.

Getting the research done before walking onto the car lot may spare the customer the trouble of haggling.
