Yes! Look at the Schumer Box. If you see a bunch of absurd fees just for having the card, you know that the company is bad. I'm not saying that credit card fees are bad. Fees are only bad when there are no valuable rewards or benefits for the cardholder. For example, the annual fee for an Amex Green card is $150, but it offers some nice benefits and travel rewards. For that same $150, you can get a shiny Premier Bankcard Platinum Mastercard with a generous $300 spending limit and no rewards or benefits whatsoever.
