Whether we like it or not (and I can't imagine anybody likes it), credit card companies have gotten into the habit of monitoring the behavior of their customers based on the purchases they make. Yes, your card issuer might be watching you. And they're making conclusions about your credit worthiness based on your spending behavior.

Katie Price and Peter Andre were on opposite sides of the world yesterday, as it was revealed that they tried marriage counselling in a bid to save their relationship. Kate, who has bought a new horse, was in London, wearing a cheeky t shirt for a meeting and then changing into an animal print dress for a night out at Nobu, never missing an opportunity for self-promotion. Meanwhile, Peter was in China for the International Indian Film Academy Awards.
