Consumer Reports rates the best and worst of credit cards

total visa credit i just got is it reputable

I currently have a Capital One card and they are
charging us 23.99% interest because we were late with one payment in the last 12 mos. Can't get them to reduce it. ASAP I will have something different in "my wallet"!

my wifes capital one card went up to 21% mine is going up to 17% what`s the deal

no tranfer fees

I have had the absolute worst service from Chase. I often make 2-4 payments per month on my card. i recently made payments on July 2 and July 29. Since my billing cycle starts on the 4th and the payment is due by the 28th I got a late charge of $39 and my APR jumped from 6.99% to over 27%. they will not make any exceptions even for really good customers who make large payments. Even though I made two payments in the month of July they could not do anything for me. And the customers ervice reps are extremely rude and unhelpful. I will no longer be doing business with Chase.

I was paying my Chase cc bill on time. I have promotional offer for life but now they are billing me 3 times for 1 month bill and increased my rate. It is crazy! It's hard to make the payment and now what do I do! They told me I had no choice. I feel cheated.

Wife and I both have Chase United Mileage plus cards. Took advantage of the 2.99% transfers for life of loans. Now they are changing the deal on us, they told us to either accept a 250% increase in the minimum payment or accept a 7.99% apr for only 2 years. With 250% increase in minimum payment our monthly payments are going from $200 to $500! We have never missed a payment or been late, this is soley because they don't wan't to live with the deals they made. A complete bait and switch. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CHASE. I have never been wronged like this by a major corporation or bank before, I am just stunned. I would expect something like this from a scam artist, not from a major institution.

As another burned by Chase raising the minimum payments (in my case on 3.99% for the life of the loan), I too would recommend avoiding both their credit cards and their bank. They may get their money faster (or drive customers to default which may be what they want) but they are destroying their brand. Six months ago, I would have said they were the best. Now they are dead to me and I will cancel each card as the balance is paid off. I said "no thanks" to their bait-and-switch 7.99% for a limited time offer to restore the 2% minimum payment, though I may be very, very skinny by the time I get my payments back to a level I can actually afford.

Wow - I got on here to research credit cards because I, too, have been burned by Chase. When they took over WAMU and bought my account they jacked up my APR to over 28% - when I called they told me to be "patient" as they were re-evaluating the accounts they had purchased. That was in January. It's now Novemenber and they are still telling me to be patient. Their customer service is unforgivably rude and I've been a great customer - always on time, always pay far more than the minimum and usually more than one payment a month. Does anyone like their credit card? I've got to have one for travel, so I need something.
