There is no way I would get a Chase card. That bank is a rip off! I'll
stick with my 5% discount at Target.

I love my Chase card. They are the only bank that5 sends me an email
whenever an online or phone charge is put through. They also alert me
to any charges over $200 (or whatever amount one wants).

Mine gives me air miles on United. I get one bag checked for free when
I charge my United flights on that card (and double miles) and I get
priority boarding and two tickets per year to the United Lounge. Since
there is only one way to get to Houston International Airport, United, I
fly with them.

I'm using miles for my trip from Singapore (where the cruise ends) to
Tokyo and from Tokyo home. I still have plenty left for other travel.

Even if I don't want to accumulate air miles any more, I'll switch to
another form of Chase card. I really like the ability to monitor my
account that they give me.

Couldn't you keep the card and tell them that you want to switch to
cash back?

It would be a different card. Mine is called a United Mileage Plus
Explorer.

Chase has a fabulous selection of credit cards and over the years I
have found their customer service to be top notch.

I had a Chase card for many years, with a rate of 5.99%, which was
perfectly reasonable for a stable, married couple with stellar credit
histories. Then, about 6 or 7 years ago, they raised the rate. I
called them, and we agreed that I would cut up the card, and could pay
off the balance at 5.99%, as long as I made at least the minimum payments
every month. Before the end of the day, I'd gotten an HSBC GM Rewards
card at 6.99, and that ended up knocking $1,000 off the price of the Chevy
I bought a few years ago. The interest rate really doesn't matter anymore
though, because we pay it off every month. Since I doubt that I will ever
again buy another GM car, I really should get a better rewards card, like
Amtrak.

I recommend setting up Auto Pay. The full balance is deducted from my
checking account on the day it is due. I get maximum float, and I don't
have to worry about getting the payment there in time.

I have all my monthly charges on auto pay. Either to a credit card or to a
bank account.

I've just learned that Medicare Part B will only auto pay to a bank
account. If I want the 1250 annual frequent flyer miles I will have to send
it in four times a year.

For the pittance a checking acct is paying now, it's hardly worth letting the cc bl ride until the due date. IOW, what's a months interest on, say, a couple of thousand dollars? My checking account is right now paying a quarter of a percent. Ha.

I'd still rather order that payment myself, rather that take a chance on an overbilling getting paid by autopay. I assume that you do scrutinize that CC account for errors.

Which is why so many rip-off organizations, including AARP and United
Airlines, issue Chase cards.

But the "widdle bwainfawt" [sic] will be FREE tomorrow to celebrate the
first day of Winter (Winter's birthday). Winter will be 22 tomorrow.

Hey, did anyone else hear that Hello Kitty turned 40 this year? Amazing,
as I think she doesn't look a day over 29.

The blink feature on my Chase card won't work at Riteaid now and it's the only place I ever did use it.

I think when they send me a new card in May it will have EMV, I have a Citi card with EMV now.

I like my Chase. I've received a few thousand bucks back in rebates. Beats paying cash, huh? No annual fee either, What's not to like?

Their cus. svc. is pretty much tops too.

I got a debit card from Chase and I told the woman I'd never used an ATM, she said she hadn't either.

I used to get mail order meds from Costco and they accepted the Chase card.

I order stamps from the PO in an orange envelope, they come the next day and no postage mailing the order or any other charge.

I buy my Forever stamps Costco when I am there shopping. I go to the
post office once per year, maybe, if I am mailing Christmas presents.

I don't know about an orange envelope but I ordered stamps online last year.
I use precious few stamps now. Mainly for seasonal cards and I am now only
sending out about 40. A few years ago it was 80.

To get the orange envelope you have to tell the postmaster certain secret words, I'm not allowed to say what those words are.
