So I totally forgot that Costco does not take anything but Visa, as I was standing in line ready to pay for something! Fortunately I live about a mile away and had a visa at home, problem solved. And I needed to use that card to prevent inactivity anyhow. But it does not earn rewards so that's a problem.
Called NFCU and they gladly PC'd my Cash Rewards Mastercard (11.15%) to the Visa version. But when he told me the new interest rate I nearly fell out of my chair; 18 whopping %.
I was like ummm this has to be a mistake, all of my scores are in the 790s to low 800s. No baddies on any report. The agent couldn't explain it.
Good thing I pay my cards off every month LOL.
Thats a big jump. But as you stated, you PIF so it wont affect you unless you start to carry a balance. Also, NFCU does allow for apr reductions, therefore in time, it could gradually lower.

They bumped @Anonymous's APR up on a PC also, Don't quite remember how much?

I went from lowest (11.4% at the time) to 17.24%.
I wouldn't worry about it much @MAZDA3 because you can ask for a reduction in a year. I asked and they dropped me back to 11.15% once that year was up.
