“Chase Prestige” and “Chase Bank” may not be “affiliated, but you can bet Chase Bank is making money on the deal.

Check out the Reunion Group, “provider of the Chase Prestige Card Services” under the “Our Products” tab:

“All of our programs must survive our rigorous testing criteria and ultimately become significant sources of revenue for us and our marketing partners.”

“Chase Prestige” and Chase Bank aren’t affiliated, even though they want you very much to think so. According to their own fine print, “(c) 2008 The Reunion Group is the exclusive provider of Chase Prestige Card Services and assumes responsibility for the provision of, or failure to provide, services. Chase and The Reunion Group are not affiliated.” Seems like old school (via snail mail) phishing to me!

My grandmother had her Chase Card automatically “upgraded” to Prestige status. Unfortunately for her she is 93 and has absolutely no need of this upgrade, didnt ask for it, didnt approve it and suddenly has this charge on a credit card that she normally keeps under 300 dollars in charges. She lives on a fixed income and luckily has a daughter and granddaughter that look out for her. Shame on Chase Bank and every other company that operates this way. It is usually the elderly or those that can least aford this kind of charge that get screwed by these companies. It is like survival of the fittest with the strong preying on the weak.

Congratulations, you’ve been upgraded!! For $80 a year…hmmm. Sounds fishy to me. While many of those features sound great, how many of them can you see yourself actually using? I agree that this card sounds pretty handy for a frequent traveler. But if you travel infrequently or not at all, it sounds like a waste of money to me.
