Shell MasterCard Rewards upped their APR to 34%, (,it doesn't matter because I too pay in full), but yikes!!

Man, I thought that would fall under usury laws or summat.

But I do seem to have some vague recollection that some state like South Dakota knows not of this "usury" you speak of, and therefore the credit card company has a business address there.
