Re: JP Morgan Chase Just Rate Jacked Us

I completely understand..good luck. If it was my oldest trade line, I would do exactly what you are...nothing and PIF!  I think a $25 AF I could live with if the card was my oldest trade line.

Keep the card PIF then the APR doesn't matter. I would reduce the usage somewhat though.

Like I have reduced my Chase flow - to the merest trickle!

As I'm sure you know, the RJ has nothing to do with your credit history, as exemplary as it is.  Chase and the other "majors" are posturing their loan portfolio prior to the new legislation taking effect.  They don't want to be locked into 8% APRs when the Fed ultimately raises the cost of money.

 

 

I totally agree with you. Chase has been rate jacking former Providian/Wamu customers ever since they took over. Any possible reason they can dream up will surfice. They told me mine went to 24.9% on my rewards card and to 15.9% on the other in order to make my accounts "more profitable" to them. If you want to know what I think, they are doing these rate jacks only in anticipation of the new credit card laws coming into effect. The rules that will allow them to raise interest rates are changing, so they do it now across the board. Later they can lower rates for better customers as "promotional APRs" while keeping rates high for more risky customers.

 

Give a big thank you to our elected officials.

I like this post slightly less now than when I originally read it in another thread.

As this thread was almost identical to the other it seemed to "fit" . Read many threads here and you'll see the same answers or similar answers several times. I'm sorry this bothered you.

AGAIN, let's remember to be friendly, supportive & respectful. There is absolutely no need, nor place for comments that serve no other purpose than to antagonize and inflame.
