Juniper incredible rate increase

[Anonymous]

Juniper just raised the APR on my card from 7% to 23.24%. I have never been late with a payment, always paid more than the minimum and have never gone over my limit.

They didn't even give me a jar of vaseline.

Incredible...worse than what we've seen here from Cap One and Chase!

I almost burst into laughter when I read this post... I mean, really???  Juniper?  I dont personally have any of their cards, but I do have an AMEX that went from 8.24 to 19.5 a couple months ago for absolutely no reason other than "it was that time of the month" for AMEX, and I thought that was kind of silly, since i never carry balances on the card.  

Alas, it looks as though I will only be using my new fixed rate NFCU card - and if they ever raise my APR, im done with credit and you'll find me living under a bridge

Don't worry, OP, they did the same to me.

I understand everyone is raising their rates, but man, 7% to 24%??? That's insane.

Mine went from 8.99 to 14.99, and I have never been late and always pay more than the minimum...I feel your pain

I would have been ok with an increase to 14% or 16%, but 24%???

This is how things will be in the future.  We all have to get over the shock of it and just not carry any balances. If they close our accounts, oh well. 

I am not going to pay more then double the prime rate to any bank.
