OP sounds like you understand how it works already. People who make a huge deal out of spending a little extra or never plan to take an airplane out of the country are the ones who get the cards. I got a PassPort so that I can fly to another country during my vacation. The cards are just cheaper, limited alternatives. Just today I was waiting in line forever at a Walmart since a lady in front of me was asking the cashier to check the price of everything she selected. She would say "WHAT!!! I didn't know the DVD was $5 extra!! Take that out I don't want that!!!" People like that are the ones who get the cards.

Luckily I can afford to buy both the book & card, being I have been working since I was a teen and managed to get my money away from Wall St. with minor injuries. I am frugal, but not cheap. I buy the best quality I can get. In fact, it may be a good idea to make any needed government purchases before the November election because once that decision is made, either party will use it as an excuse to continue business as usual and therefore, jack up the prices of all goverment services.

Same here LeadFootHauler. During that time I used to be a small time day trader from home so I could see the economy collapse before the news reported it. I put all of my money into a money market while everything fell apart so I am in good shape as well. I buy the best quality when it comes to things that can last a long time, whereas someone else would buy the cheapest item just to have it break within a year and having to buy another cheap item thus spending more than one quality item that costs a little more.

Buying quality has always been where it's at.

I went to the closest Post Office that offers Department of State, Passports and made the mistake of thinking I could pay for everything with my credit card. HA! The USPS allowed me to buy stamps, pay for there passport photos and money order using my VISA card, but not the rapacious State Department. Noooo. It only accepts cash, a personal check or a bank debit card. Therefore, let this be warning to all those who need to get a US Passport. This way you don't have to do what I did and end paying a hefty service fee to withdrawl the money from the closest bank to the USPS (a twenty minute walk) which was not a bank that I had an account with.

I went to Walmart and got two pictures.
I downloaded the forms from the internet including the instructions.
I mailed them the next day at the post office.
I returned the old passport as required.
I week later received mine. -

You ever think that maybe I was passing renewal facts on?
Besides, I got my passport originally in the 80's, technology changed.
So grow up and act your age.LeadFootHauler Thanks this. -
Good night.
PS: Anyone can be tough behind a PC. It takes little self-control and sets a poor example for our youth.
