Chase and FirstUSA

I applied in-store at Toys R Us over the weekend after a rep promoted it. I pulled TC and saw that FirstUSA did a hard pull. Do you guys know the relationship between Chase and FirstUSA? The last time I remember FirstUSA was over 10 years ago in my college days. Back then we would app just to get that free shirt or tall mug (aka beer stein).

I have a Chase Cash Rebate card, and when I requested a CLI in October it came from First USA.  I assume it just shows up that way.

Re: Chase and FirstUSA

First USA merged with Bank One, which merged with Chase. (Don't know that "merged" is the correct verb, but that's the most generic I can come up with at the moment!)

llecs, if you went to UW or UofI, I may have actually thrown one of those t-shirts at you. I had recently graduated from college and thought that this was a good way to make some quick money...and I made a lot of it. LOL.Smiley Very Happy

Nope. Not me. Went to school in FL and VA. I first went to a small school that was dry school. A group of us would always app in a group and get a large mug with lid and straw and it always had something cheezy on the side but they always had the VISA logo on it. We were the ones who would show up to a party somewhere with mugs in tow. Campus police never bothered to open our mugs but would go after the ones with the party cups. Thank you VISA.
