Chase Credit Cards – Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You

Chase, one of the largest credit card issuers in the country, doesn’t want your credit card business.  At least that’s a conclusion one could draw from an article in the Wall Street Journal stating that, “Chase, for example, is now referring unsolicited calls from people wanting to sign up for credit cards to its Web site and bank branches.”

Its almost absurd to imagine that the same company that flooded mailboxes with credit card advertisements for the past decade is now turning people away at the door, but this appears to be the situation.  Of course, they are still raking in the dough on all the people they’re charging 27.99% interest rates.  However, the fact that they are making it difficult for people to get credit cards is not a great sign for the economy. 

Fortunately, having a Chase credit card is not all that its cut out to be.  A recent post on Chase credit card practices drew more than a few negative comments.  Perhaps its best to not have something Chase in your wallet?
