I beg to differ that nothing comes free.  I currently have a
MasterCard from United Missouri Bank in Kansas City, MO, and do not
pay anything for an annual fee, nor do I have to keep any money in
any account anywhere.  I didn't even actively search for such a deal.
They sent me a half-page application in the mail, I had been turned
down before, so I decided to try again.  Voila--fish and chips!

The only drawback I see to their card is that the interest rate is
22%, but that is only 1% over the norm (I can handle that).
