CHASE IS A JOKE

I think so since you pay 0% interest for 12 months and you avoid paying any bt fees.

I recently got an offer in the mail for a Chase Slate wit blueprint which comes with 0% intro. APR on both purchases and balance transfers until 2013. I have a $2K balance on another credit card and thinking about transferring the balance to this card. Would this be a wise move?

every issuers who ideally like to have folks carry “a little balance” rather than pay in full, especially for no annual fee credit cards cos they can only earn their money from interchange fees!

I had my Chase Freedom card on automatic payment of the full monthly balance from my checking account to avoid interest charges. Somehow I got switched to Blueprint to automaticly pay in full all “covered categories”. Last month I had a balance of $365 including a purchase of pet food made at a vet’s office of $15. Apparently vet office charges are not considered “covered charges” so the automatic payment of $350 left a balance of $15 on my account and I was charged a “minimum interest charge” of $1.50, 10% per month or 120% per year!

I called customer service and complained, and they agreed to waive the $1.50 interest, and was told if I go to a Chase branch I could arrange for automatic payment of the full balance.

Credit card companies consider cardholders like myself who pay off their cards in full to be freeloaders. They go to extremes to tempt cardholders with “free” checks and gimmicks like Blueprint hoping you will slip up and they can ding you with exorbitant interest.

I just received my new card. I’ve gone through several different companies owning my credit card account. I started out as a master card and got changed over to visa. Have no idea how the hell that happens. I’ve been using my card since 1998. I won’t be using this new card ever, under any circumstances. It looks cheap, and dangerous to use, and the blink aspect on it makes it easy for anyone to steal your ID and card number just by walking past your back with an electronic device that can be easily purchsed for this purpose.

My Chase Platinum card is about to expire and I was sent the Slate card. This is without a doubt the ugliest credit card I have ever seen. It is vertical and the numbers and letters look like a store credit card and are barely embossed. They also removed the Cardmember Since date. This is all after they raised my APR from 7.9% to 14.24% variable early last year. I want so badly to close the account but it is 10 years old, closing it will hurt my FICO, but I hate this design so much that it might be worth it.

This card is $10 per month, zero interest for one month only. Not a good deal.

This card is a joke. And so is Chase’s new fee schedule. I could get better rates from a local loan shark. SLATE? WTF? Who dreams up this stuff? How does that relate to a Gold or Platinum Card? Sems pretty lowly to me. Around here it’s a roofing material. Egad. Guess I better not piss off Chase – I might get downgraded even further to a Granite card. Slate sounds like something Santa Claus would put in bad children’s stockings when he ran out of coal… Goodbye Chase. And good riddance.
