The items in this Act that could be handled by responsible credit card users I am not a fan of. For instance I think it is a bit silly to outlaw the free shirts and hats. Use of that tactic was declining anyway because so many college students began to get cards before college. However I do like the portions that increase disclosure.

I always only carry a small monthly balance, and it's paid off each month. Thank goodness they can't do this any more in the future. My fees shot up 6% for no reason right before the act was passed.
