The gold card may cost more, but the current interest rate for balances on the gold is quite low. If you run big balances, this could make a big difference to you. You pay $65 up front for the card but you only pay an annual rate of 14% on your balance. When you consider that most credit cards charge you over 19% this is a pretty good. I don't know that the 14% interest rate is true for all gold cards though since you get your credit line through you own bank. Sharon Badian ihnp4!mtgzz!seb
