The (low) price of credit card loyalty

Credit cards do more than offer credit. They radiate aspiration - the top ones come with names like Ultima, Platinum and Infinite - and they come with perks.

And it is for the perks that people most often think to use one card over another. When presented with a bill, Hong Kong diners will habitually ask the waiter if the restaurant is offering a credit card promotion. They will ask this while flipping open a wallet stuffed with plastic, ensuring they have a card for all plans.
