With increasing frequency, credit card companies are tracking where customers shop and are penalizing them for purchases that may signal financial difficulties. If you use your credit card at a red-flagged establishment such as the auto repair shop, the dollar store, or discount stores, the credit card company may reduce your credit line and/or increase your interest rates.
Since I don’t know which stores are red-flagged, I guess this means I should always pay with cash when I shop at my favorite Target or WalMart store.
