QUERY: I'm writing an article for CBS MoneyWatch about whether credit card interest rates are expected to drop soon. I'm looking for financial experts to answer the following questions:
1. How has inflation over the past several years affected credit card interest rates?
2. How has inflation affected credit card balances (i.e., are people spending more on credit cards to make up for rising prices?)
3. Do you think we'll see credit card interest rates drop in the near future? If not, what do you think will happen with rates over the next 3-6 months? Feel free to share several possibilities of what could happen with rates.
4. What cost-effective borrowing options would you recommend as an alternative to credit cards in today's economic climate? Consider borrowers who are spending on credit cards because their income exceeds their expenses, as well as those who need a solution for an emergency expense that comes up.
