I just wanted to clarify--so this is an argument for why banks and CC companies want to drop those who pay every month? It's obvious why the carry-a-balance folks are a gold mine for the banks, but I still haven't heard a good reason to jettison the pay-in-full folks that they already have.


Just a shot in the dark, but I wonder if they've been asked/forced to "reduce their risk exposure."

Who would they drop? Not the folks who are paying 15-20% and have no other choice. They will drop the "non-producing risk" which is no risk at all. So it looks good on the books even though it's B.S.
