WaMu Becoming Chase

[Anonymous]

Hmmm.

Well, that's interesting.

Last year, when I applied with Chase, they checked Equifax, and declined due to an old collection and not enough time on my open accounts.

I got my WaMu card in the fall with no problems.

I have recieved the letters, and the one about getting a new card whenever my old card expires (which will be in 2011). By then, I'll have my credit with Equifax good to go.

I'd prefer the Chase branded card, but I don't want the account closed.

I guess I'll wait and see what happens when others try it.

When I received letters for both of my WAMU cards, I decided to call customer service.  I was also nervous about the wording of continuing to meet their credit criteria.  I was told that if Chase was going to close your account, you would have already received a letter telling you that.  The rep also checked both of my accounts and said I was fine.  I know they can be wrong, but it gave me more hope that I will actually hold onto both of my accounts.

I got a letter stating my Providian will be converted to a Chase Flexible Rewards. AWESOME!

Received the same letter telling me that my Providian would be Flexible Rewards...wish I'd known that before I rushed to use my reward points last week!   This card has always had a much higher apr than my Wamu card. Much higher credit limit too. Keeping my fingers crossed that sometime in the near future I just MIGHT stand a chance of having my apr lowered
