美國監管機構警告信用卡發卡機構不得貶值獎勵

(路透社)- 美國消費者金融保護局(CFPB)在週三發出警告,表示如果信用卡公司貶值或取消持卡人所獲得的獎勵積分、現金回饋或里程,可能違反法律。

CFPB在一份政策通告中指出,禁止不公平、欺騙性及濫用行為的規定意味著,當局可以對那些基於細則、隱藏條款或技術故障而削減獎勵價值的發卡機構進行懲罰。

CFPB會將這類通告分發給其他機構,包括州檢察長和地方監管機構,這些機構負責執行聯邦消費金融法。

根據CFPB的數據,截至2022年,四分之三的通用信用卡都是獎勵卡,許多消費者選擇申請和使用的卡片主要是根據所提供的獎勵來決定的。

行業團體對此反應不佳,指責CFPB追求新聞頭條並損害一項受歡迎的產品。美國銀行家協會(ABA)總裁羅布·尼科爾斯表示,針對信用卡獎勵的投訴“極其罕見”,並指責CFPB對發卡機構施加政治壓力。

當選美國總統的唐納德·特朗普尚未任命明年負責CFPB的人選,但觀察人士認為該機構的執法和監管方式幾乎肯定會發生很大變化。特朗普的盟友埃隆·馬斯克已呼籲解散該機構。

共和黨立法者也要求金融監管機構在特朗普上任之前停止發布新規定,但CFPB並未聽從這一呼籲。

這一警告反映出監管機構對消費者權益的重視,尤其是在當前經濟環境下,許多消費者依賴信用卡獲得獎勵。對於信用卡發卡機構來說,遵循這些指導方針不僅能夠保護消費者權益,還能夠維護自身的商譽。雖然行業反對聲音強烈,但這一政策可能會促使信用卡公司更加透明地對待獎勵計劃,從而提升消費者信任。

然而,值得注意的是,未來的政治變化可能會影響這類規定的執行力度。特朗普政府下的監管政策可能會較為寬鬆,這使得消費者在獲得獎勵方面的保障存在不確定性。因此,消費者在選擇信用卡時,除了考慮獎勵的吸引力外,也應該關注這些獎勵的持續性及潛在風險。
