By Editor: Pauline Tai Reporter: Beth M. Gilbert

(MONEY Magazine) – More bankers are rewarding their best customers with favorable deals, including three listed under Revolving cards. Example: Security Pacific offers California residents 20.4% Visa and MasterCards that decline by one point with each additional relationship, such as a checking account, CD or auto loan. The rate bottoms out at 16%. In another trend, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill in October limiting interest deductions on home-equity loans to $100,000 for couples, $60,000 for singles. The bill signals that lawmakers are gunning for the loans.
