Banks WaMu bought

[Anonymous]

I'd like to know who all WaMu has aquired in the last 5 years. I was turned down a card from them because they bought another bank I used to do business pre BK. I'm doing everything to to eliminate all the wrongs of pre-BK life.

"Acquisitions"

Ah. To simple. Thank you.

I've been keeping a ledger of tid-bit notes from these post to hone in on the right cards for the right reason at the right time to end up with 5 or 6 cards 5 years from now. It would be a shame to decide a card was perfect after tons of research just to find out I don't have a BK chance in heck when all the other planets line up.

Thanks.

Oh, Fleet and Providian are why WaMu don't like me. Scared to death to look at B of A.
