Chase just makes me angry. First they converted, no agreement by me, my Chase Freedom to the Sapphire,which, of course, means I no longer get 3% on my 3 top categories every month. I decided to cash out my points, and was told I can only take a 175 check, nothing more, and I had 20,600 pts. I said, but I am still using my Freedom Card, and I cashed out a 300 check in April — too bad, new rules, 175 is the limit, and your account has already been converted.

I am going to review all my cards, and maybe go back to cash. For those who pay off every month, the card is just a convenience, and a way to earn points.

Beware! If you are signing up for a any account with Chase you should know that this latest venture, the Sapphire Cards, is being funded on the backs of good, long standing customers like the “life of the loan” deal. It’s a bit of a reverse Robin Hood. They raising the minimum payments instead of interest rates so it might be legal but it is certainly unscrupulous during these difficult times. Google: Chase raises minimum payments. You’ll find a list of sites where you can read the personal stories and draw your own conclusions. They are just like the Robber barons from days of old.

Chase can take their cards and SHOVE IT where the sun don’t shine. They are nothing but LIARS. They tack on all sorts of fees to the card and paying the minimum or even half of the card balance isn’t good enough for them. They will just close your account after a couple of times of you only paying half the card balance, report you to the credit bureaus as “delinquent” and send 10 different debt collectors after you. I’m not kidding about this.

There is NO negotiating with them. It’s either you pay the card in full or you will be paying through the nose with their miscellaneous fees. I wouldn’t recommend Chase to a dog for Christ sakes.

Don’t get a card with Chase and certainly DO NOT open a bank account with Chase. You will be SORRY beyond belief if you have an account with Chase. Chase will close your bank account without warning if you don’t keep more than $12 in it at any given time. $12 that goes towards their “monthly service fee”. And after they close your bank account, your name gets listed in Chex System and you have NO choice but to get a second chance checking account. There is NO way of getting your name out of the Chex System.

If you have an account with Chase, CLOSE IT NOW. DO NOT WAIT. DO NOT PATRONIZE THEM. Don’t patronize businesses that practice deceptive tactics. I will HATE Chase forever and a day. I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through with Chase. It’s mind blowing the way they operate.

I was able to get in on the Chase Deal when it was still 25000 points (Based upon a SlickDeals Posting).
I just redeemed my 25000 points (the wife and I both got 25000 points each) for a couple of checks ($150 & $100) each for a total of $500.

The Rewards site is somewhat broken when you try and order online but a quick call to customer service allowed my order to go through.
