Does anyone think that pending credit card legislation could lead to the return of annual fee visa and mastercard credit cards? Do you think rewards programs will be significantly curtailed or eliminated? NYT article today (?) speculates that card issuers might try to grow revenue from transactors now that new rules make penalizing revolvers a less viable business model. What do you think?

The thing is the merchants too are fighting to actually negotiate credit card processing fees so it's a double blow to the card industry. I think we will see the rewards go bye-bye for the most part. We kind of have already seen that with a lot of cards. There are not many good rewards credit cards now left on the market. As far as the annual fee I don't know if people will spring for that unless the card is giving some killer rewards/cash back.
