(SAN FRANCISCO) - Consumer Action (www.consumer-action.org) launched its new website (www.knowyourcard.org) to help consumers understand the new laws and other changes regarding credit, debit, prepaid, and gift cards.   The website's homepage presents key payment card changes, explains how they could affect cardholders and offers tips to help consumers make  better decisions. Sidebar links to the At-a-Glance Card Rulebook provide more detailed information and an overview of changes for each type of payment card. 

Who is Consumer Action? Consumer Action is a nonprofit organization that has championed the rights of underrepresented consumers nationwide since 1971. Throughout its history, the organization has dedicated its resources to promoting financial literacy and advocating for consumer rights in both the media and before lawmakers to promote economic justice for all. With the resources and infrastructure to reach millions of consumers, Consumer Action is one of the most recognized, effective, and trusted consumer organizations in the nation. I am a volunteer with Consumer Action providing information and resources to people with consumer complaints and problems.

The website's homepage presents key payment card changes, explains how they could affect cardholders and offers tips to help consumers make the right moves. Sidebar links to the At-a-Glance Card Rulebook provide more detailed information and an overview of changes for each type of payment card.

Finally, a search box allows consumers to access an extensive database of questions and answers (Q&As) and find what they are looking for fast. Visitors can access the Q&As by using the search box or by browsing Q&As by category, or even by asking Consumer Action a question via a form on the site. They can then rate the Q&As, and their ratings will provide feedback on how helpful the answers are.
