Win a $500 gift card in the Love it/Hate it Credit Card Chaser contest

NOTE: Submissions and comments must be made at The Credit Card Chaser site to win.

Do you love your credit card? Do you hate it? Tell Credit Card Chaser why, and you could win a $500 AMEX gift card!

This is my entry so I’ll tell you why I hate my Chase card. You may already know that I HATE Chase Cards.

First they tried to jack up our interest rate, so I fought back, and won! Then they cut our credit limit by exactly what we had paid off so our utilization went to nearly 90% of our limit!

Recently they sent us ANOTHER note saying our interest rate was going up again. Thankfully we are locked in at a low rate while we pay it off. (note: this is not the highest interest rate card we have so that is why we are still paying it off, it’s #3 right now)

Another thing I hate about Chase? We had another account with them (since paid off! WOOT!), but it STILL shows up on my list of accounts online. What’s worse, they changed the account number right before we closed it so we have TWO accounts listed, and BOTH are listed as having $1 balances even though I’ve confirmed that the account is closed and we owe nothing.

I look forward to paying off my Chase card completely so I NEVER have to deal with their crappy service again!

You can enter the contest too! You don’t even need a blog.

The rules

Tell Credit Card Chaser why you LOVE a particular credit card or credit card company/bank. NOTE: If you do not use a credit card then feel free to make your story about a debit card instead. OR Tell Credit Card Chaser why you HATE a particular credit card or credit card company/bank (i.e. “I hate Chase because they jacked up my interest rate and decreased my credit limit even though I have never made a late payment”). <—They said that not me! But it’s true!

There are two ways to submit your entry and two different prize levels:

A) Submit your entry by writing a blog post about this contest and telling your LOVE/HATE story to have a chance at winning a $500 American Express gift card

B) Leave a comment on the site telling your LOVE/HATE story to have a chance at winning a $100 American Express gift card.

Good luck!

I personally hate every credit card company I have used. Raising interest rates for no good reason, rude customer service, servers down, etc. I have had cards through Capital One, HSBC (who I still deal with), Kmart, Mervyns, Lane Bryant, and my credit union. If I ever get my accounts paid off – I will completely swear off credit cards!!!

Wow. People’s experience really do vary a lot. Chase is the one credit card company that we’ve actually had good experiences with. Our worst experience was HSBC. We never run into any interes rate issues with them (never carried a balance) but had some bizarre exeriences.

I love my Amex Clear. I don't think they're available anymore, but it's perfect for me – 1% cash back on everything (paid automatically as $25 Amex gift cards), generous spending limit, and best of all NO FEES – including the hardest to avoid international transaction fee. My husband and I out of the country much of the year for his work, so that's a 3% savings on a huge number of transactions.
