You think not?  Consider the facts.  My VISA and MASTERCARD have zero
annual fees.  I do not know what the finance charge is because I never
pay any -- I just pay the full balance when I get my statement.  The only
place where there are hidden costs is with merchants who charge more
for credit cards than for cash transactions (and who probably claim
that they are actually giving a discount for cash, but we know better).

Since no one forces me to use my credit card when it would cost me
extra, there are no hidden charges that I can see.  What am I missing?
