My understanding is that the banks were overcharging the places that took Mastercard/Visa, etc. on the debit cards to begin with. With the legislation, they'll still make huge profits, but not as huge as before.
How much does it actually cost for a transaction? A penny or less?
If forced to, I would rather pay a yearly fee than have a cap on my card. I almost never have more than $10 in my pocket (and usually, it's no cash at all in my pocket) But more likely, and as pain in the arse as it would be, I would stick my money in whatever bank or credit union DOESN'T charge the fee.
