Looks like America can't handle Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's krazy fees debit "kard." Launched only on Nov. 10, the sisters Kardashian are dropping their prepaid MasterCard-branded card, which along with a high price tag, featured the likeness of Kim's cleavage.
The card's targeting of teens prompted Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to launch an investigation, which inspired a statement from Kardashian lawyer Dennis Roach.
"The Kardashians have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona that appeals to everyone, particularly young adults," Roach said. "Unfortunately, the negative spotlight turned on the Kardashians as a result of the Attorney General's comments and actions threatens everything for which they have worked."
Maybe it's the potential bad image, or maybe it's just that a mere 250 people signed up for the card, which costs $99.95 annually, not including the purchase fee of $9.95 and monthly fees of $7.95, but this predatory credit card will soon be dead.
Not that many fair-minded people will mourn its demise. There is a $1 fee for adding funds, a call to customer service costs $1.50 and there's a $2 penalty for automatic bill pay. Those who couldn't resist the Kardashians' plastic may continue using it for 30 days, after which they will receive refunds of balances and up-front fees, reports Time.
