“While other credit card issuers are limiting or restructuring their reward programs, Chase launches a new rewards program - Ultimate Rewards. ”

The point system for Chase’s Ultimate rewards results in fewer points per dollar than the old system. Chase has limited their program.

Great information on the Chase Sapphire card. it sounds like you can make some serious rewards and points with this type of credit card. Though, you will just need to make sure to pay of the full amount each month and you could seriously come out ahead. Thanks for your site!

Comment on Chase Introduces Blueprint to Help Manage Cardholder Finances by Jean C.

Chase is sooooo crooked. So I just called and asked the rep “Is there a way for me to pay my higher interest purchases first?” and he flat out says No. Then I say, “what about the Blueprint program that you guys have?” Then he says, “Oh…in that case YES.” I was like, WHAT!? He proceeds to explain that he’s not allowed to talk about blueprint or bring it up unless the caller brings it up first!! I said are u serious?? Then he tells me he’s going to connect me to a blueprint specialist. I get connected and the “specialist” tells me that I don’t have blueprint on my card. I said I know, I’m calling because I’d like to enroll. He tells me I can’t, that’s only available for selected customers. I tried finding out what I would have to do in order to enroll but apparently it’s completely random and only selected few are being offered the privilege. What a load of crap!! F-in CROOKS!!!! I swear, once i’m done paying them off…….i’m DONE.

Comment on New Credit Card Rules Go Into Effect by Nathan

One correction. This legislation does not go into effect until nine months after it became law, which means it will not be enforced until February 22, 2009. Look at section three of HR 627 if you want to double check.

Comment on Customers Aren’t so Satisfied in Latest Credit Card Ratings by Laurie McLachlan

Laurie McLachlan — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 18:18:39 +0000

As dissatisfaction with credit card companies has grown, consumers have been overwhelmingly turning to debit cards as a better alternative. Debit cards are now used more often than credit cards but the one thing that’s been missing until now is a debit card that delivers meaningful rewards.

I work for PerkStreet Financial and I wanted to let readers know that next month, we’ll be introducing an online checking account that delivers more debit card rewards than a credit card with no annual fee and no minimum balance requirement. Customers may choose between earning 1% cash back, free music or free coffee. We believe that people who choose to spend responsibly on debit - versus credit - deserve to be rewarded.

Chase can take their cards and SHOVE IT where the sun don’t shine. They are nothing but LIARS. They tack on all sorts of fees to the card and paying the minimum or even half of the card balance isn’t good enough for them. They will just close your account after a couple of times of you only paying half the card balance, report you to the credit bureaus as “delinquent” and send 10 different debt collectors after you. I’m not kidding about this.

There is NO negotiating with them. It’s either you pay the card in full or you will be paying through the nose with their miscellaneous fees. I wouldn’t recommend Chase to a dog for Christ sakes.

Don’t get a card with Chase and certainly DO NOT open a bank account with Chase. You will be SORRY beyond belief if you have an account with Chase. Chase will close your bank account without warning if you don’t keep more than $12 in it at any given time. $12 that goes towards their “monthly service fee”. And after they close your bank account, your name gets listed in Chex System and you have NO choice but to get a second chance checking account. There is NO way of getting your name out of the Chex System.

If you have an account with Chase, CLOSE IT NOW. DO NOT WAIT. DO NOT PATRONIZE THEM. Don’t patronize businesses that practice deceptive tactics. I will HATE Chase forever and a day. I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through with Chase. It’s mind blowing the way they operate.

Comment on Advanta Introduces New Business Credit Cards by Mick Eliot

Mick Eliot — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:32:26 +0000

Advanta credit cards are a disgrace to the industry. Teaser rates get you to sign-up, then without notification or being late or over limit the increase rates to over 36%!
Even when payments are sent in 10 days prior to due date they charge you with late fees.
With everyone having difficulties financially today, Advanta sticks it to those least able to afford their abhorant tactics.

Advanta credit card services is happy to continue to extend more and more credit when things are good, but when things get tough the make it impossible to get out from under their thumb with 36% interest and late fees. They should be ashamed…they must not have families or a shred of reasonableness.

The national average interest rate charge on credit card balance is under 12%, so much for Advanta’s customer care reputation.
