Tax reform is in the works. Most itemized deductions — including state-level income tax — will go away. As such, without a deduction, the net effective income tax rate imposed by states will be higher. This makes planning for state-level income tax that much more important.

Discover, the smallest of the four major US credit card networks, saw strong progress that nonetheless fell slightly short of expectations in Q1 2017, according to its earnings announcement late Tuesday.
The firm posted solid annual revenue growth, but it will be important for Discover to find ways to navigate and improve its positioning in a particularly competitive credit environment in order to continue on this growth trajectory.
Notably, Discover was able to return its PULSE segment to growth. PULSE, Discover’s debit network and largest segment by volume, had been experiencing consistent declines thanks to shifts in market share. That was bad for Discover, because PULSE’s large size made those losses the firm’s largest performance drag. But right on schedule, PULSE returned to profitability in Q1 2017, posting 4% annual growth, which likely lifted business overall. And the firm sees room for ongoing acceleration in the segment, which could be a long-term boost for the network.
But to maintain growth, Discover will have to continue to improve its proprietary cards.
Credit card rewards have become so popular in the US that issuers capture headlines just by launching a new rewards card. And with consumers now caring more about the type of rewards being offered than any other card feature, competition to offer the most lucrative and attractive rewards has intensified dramatically.
For consumers, the emphasis card issuers place on these cards has resulted in rewards becoming much more worthwhile and widespread, ranging from big sign-on bonuses to free travel. And with offers continuing to get better, consumers will continue seeking out the best rewards cards.
The value added from these cards is undeniable for issuers — in addition to increasing adoption of credit card products, the opportunity to earn rewards encourages cardholders to spend more money. This not only helps to drive up revenue, but also provides issuers an opportunity to mitigate any losses they may be feeling from the Durbin Amendment, which reduced how much fees issuers could charge on debt card transactions starting in 2011.
But it’s also important to note that offering such high-valued rewards comes at a price — Chase’s Sapphire Reserve card ended up reducing the bank’s profits by $200 million to $300 million in Q4 2016, according to Bloomberg. And as costs continue to rise, issuers will have to adjust to this new landscape by leveraging technology and partnerships to keep consumers engaged without sacrificing profits.
Ayoub Aouad, research analyst for BI Intelligence, Business Insider’s premium research service, has compiled a detailed credit card rewards explainer that walks through the new credit card rewards landscape, which now includes rising consumer demand for rewards, increased opportunity for issuers to drive up usage of their credit card products, and increasing costs. After discussing the evolution that has led to this current landscape, the report analyzes how issuers will have to adjust in order to continue reaping the benefits of offering rewards without sacrificing significant profits.
Here are some key takeaways from the report:
