wamu/jp chase

[Anonymous]

After finding out about my juniper CLD I decided to call wamu to find out what's up with them. I asked them outright about the stability of their company and also asked them if I could expect a decrease from them as well. I was told they are still in "transition".

I was wondering if anyone else out there has a Wamu card and if so have they made any changes with your account?

We have 2 Wamu's $1500 and $2k that we've had about 4 yrs but are afraid to use.  They seem really unstable right now.  It's like a person that's been off their antipsychotic meds (I'm a nurse and I'm all for taking whatever you need to keep you stable so I'm not knocking chemical intervention).

I have a Wamu card that I got in October and they haven't made any changes to my account. I've only used it once and pif.

*crossing fingers so I don't jinx anyone -- we have WaMu, too!!*

Considering that they were just bought out by one of the only banks left standing (and Chase does, from what I can tell, VERY well), I'd not worry too much. Personally, I *think* that if any uglies were going to come out with WaMu, it would have BEFORE the buy-out.

I think if you start seeing Chase cards or banking products going toes up, THEN it should be a concern. Til then, I'm grateful to WaMu and love'em to pieces!!

(They gave us our first "prime" card with "prime rate" and semi-prime CL!! We'd bank with them, too, if they weren't so freaking far away ... but really, as much as we love them, driving 3 hours to get to a remote ATM is a bit much!)

Oh, we use the HECK out of ours. Have a $2500 CL and use almost the whole shooting match up in one month (use it for groceries, bills, entertainment, etc) and *nearly* pay it off each month. We let roughly about 10-20% report. Only 'cause it's 0% 'til 2010.

Once that romance is over, like our Cap One, we'll pay it off completely and just PIF each month.

The odds of a Customer Service Rep knowing about the stability of the company is extremely low.

They are still in transition, from everything the company has sent out, it's going to be some point later, note later, this year, at the earliest, that they will be rebranding WaMu products with the Chase name.  That goes for credit cards and branches.  

 However, the only thing I've heard about WaMu actually changing is that they sent out letters stating they were discontinuing the secured credit cards.  Which I think makes sense, because Chase doesn't have any secured cards, they probably want nothing to do with them.

I really hope Chase doesn't treat us WAMU cardholders like step-children. We already had a difficult enough time dealing with WAMU. I'm hoping this change will mean a more customer friendly card.

They didn't give me my auto cli yet.  It has me worried.

I've banked with them for years, and have had my WaMu MC since Nov. 07.  I received an auto-CLI of $1000 around the anniversary date.  Total CL is now $1750.  It is only used once a month for my cell phone and then I PIF.  I'm praying it will convert to a Chase MC.  Supposedly, they'll be replacing current WaMu cards with Chase-branded cards as they expire.  Shoot, I don't want to wait until 11/2010!
