Credit Cards

[psychic]

In today's mail, I received a letter from Chase regarding my Freedom Visa account.  It stated:

...Effective July 2, 2008 your Chase Freedom Visa card will be upgraded to include Visa Signature benefits! ...the upgrade to your account occurs automatically on July 2, 2008. 

I immediately contacted Chase, and told them:  "I don't want this upgrade."  I explained about this card's reporting issues.  Chase complied, and I'll be keeping my non-Signature Freedom Visa card with the same APR and credit line.  I did tell them if they ever get some of the reporting problems worked out, I might decide to upgrade to the Signature card.

Turning down a Signature card!!!!  You must be livin' the sportin' life.  LOL

Was a real upgrade offer, or that fake offer that comes in the mail for the fee.

I got the fake offer last month, for $39 they would send me a sticker or something to put on my card.

Maybe with enough feedback from customers like you, something might percolate over to the reporting section, and they'll start coding them correctly.

I remember that Dawn found page and paragraph in the manual on how it should be coded, and she still couldn't get them to do it.

I wonder if enough people contacted Visa and MasterCard directly and told them about the problem, that they might start some sort of trickle-down correction?

A sticker!!!!   What the hell is that supposed to do???????????

What is all that about?

This was very real.  I called Chase Customer Service, and was even transferred to their Security Department to answer questions to verify my identity.

I asked the representative if he was familiar with the reporting problems, and he did say "Yes."  I also mentioned the coding issue, but that didn't evoke any response.

If someone had Bill Gates money, what need would they have for a credit card?
