The Rise of the Almost-Premium Credit Card

Original: The Rise of the Almost-Premium Credit Card https://www.wsj.com/personal-finance/credit/the-rise-of-the-almost-premium-cr

The Wall Street Journal examines a growing middle tier in the credit card market: cards priced below true premium products but above basic no-fee options. These 'almost-premium' cards offer some travel perks and rewards at a lower annual fee, as issuers compete for customers who want benefits without top-tier costs.

Why now: Card issuers are rolling out mid-tier products as consumers push back on rising premium annual fees, making the trend a talking point in personal finance.
