  • Here's how you can prepare to make the most of award travel, avoid high interest, protect your card information, and more in the new year.

The article from Yahoo Finance discusses key changes and considerations for credit cardholders in 2025. It highlights that credit card companies are adapting to new regulations and economic conditions, which could affect interest rates, rewards programs, and fees.
