I would not call this fool proof but if someone wanted to actually hack the system, I would try along the lines of: https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=12213566702719875163 where NY state has a criminal usury law whereby charging more than 25% is a felony. It is a well settled principle that criminal contracts are unenforceable, and merely declaring a venue (Utah usually in America, as it has the most bank friendly laws) when the nexus of activity is elsewhere (In the instant case card was shipped to and used in NY) does not make it so. With US Govt lending rates so high, most credit cards are gonna be pushing past 25% if they aren’t already. Legally the card company suing you would be most similar to a criminal loan shark in the eyes of the law seeking redress of illegal activity gone sour if you are a NY resident.
