WaMu offers

cheddar, I have the Real Rewards MC from WAMU for 2 years now and I applied "cold".  Maybe they've changed the rules - for what I don't know.  WAMU, IMO, is not a very good credit card company.  They should stay in plain banking and real estate.  Oh, wait a minute!  I read in the LA Times that they had a big scandal about paying appraisers to pass house inspections so they could close deals.  Tsk, tsk, WAMU!

Well, that's interesting.  When I got my preapproval for Real Rewards MC in the mail, I called to find out about the card.  I asked why I had never seen an application for the card online, and the CSR told me this card was offered by preapproval only.

Bah.  They'll tell you anything to get you to apply.

I thought about the Readers Reward Platinum Visa but I think I like the MyPoints one better. Unfortunately, they are only offering 1K points for opening a new account. That sucks. If they were offering 10K-20K points, I'd be all over it!
