I knew this day would come. Alas, my 7.9% Fixed APR was too good to be true. In it’s place will sit a brand spanking new 12.9% Variable APR, most likely due to my recent stint of unemployment. While I have the right to reject this change (in less than two weeks), it pretty much means I can’t ever use the card again. There will be thousands of customers who won’t even realize this is happening, since the notice comes in a non-envelope that’s dressed up like advertising, likely to go into the junk pile. At least I don’t have much of a balance on it, but for others, it could hurt quite a bit.
You took my precious MBNA away and now this.

Anyone have any good, and I use the term loosely, credit card recommendations?
Capital One did the same exact thing to me, only I haven't been unemployed. The problem they cited was the economy. Such bullshit. Interest rates are lower than ever on lending to these stupid banks, but instead of passing on the savings to us, they raise our interest rates for no good reason. Grrrr.

Thanks for sharing. This information is useful for me.
