i found out that since wamu was bought out by chase that the "mypoints" wamu card will not be for mypoints anymore after a month or two.. GRR!!! the only reason i used it was to get points for mypoints so i could get gift cards all the timme and now it is just gonna be a regular chase card with their points crap.. im so pissed!!
anyone else upset about this? not to mention no more free credit score thing either!! and i hate chase as a company!! if you have this card are you gonna keep it or cancel it? im keeping it just for emergencies but wont be using it anymore!

Yeah, it sometimes sucks when companies merge or get bought out... They often change many of the best things! I have a Chase card, but not the MyPoints program you mentioned. Mine is an Amazon card -- I wonder if they will keep that? Do you know?
Anyway, I do plan on keeping mine. As far as using the credit, I have a significant amount to pay off over the next few months, so I don't really plan to use ANY credit cards unless there is a dire emergency until I get my balances back to a reasonable amount. *sigh* Wish me luck!

i got rid of the mypoints card a while ago. their customer service sucked major a55. and now that theyre going to be chase? im SO glad i got rid of it already LOL chasesmakes a habit of falsly chaging fees that are not applcable because most folks dont actually read their entire itemized statements.. they just see the balance needed to be paid, and pay it. they charge late fees when yer not late, overage fees when yer not over, and all kinds of crap. i wouldnt even keep it for emergencies if i were you.. but thats just my position on it.

i would get rid of it but im rebuilding my credit and the longer i have cards the better it looks so i dont wanna cancel and hurt my score at least not right now.. if they give me any crap i will cancel it then.. that and the economy is so crazy im scared i will have some emergency and be screwed because i had to drain my savings account last year and money is so tight that any little thing could screw me big time.. i dont like using credit cards as the answer but i at least want the option.. but i am REALLY hating chase!!

i loved it because it would give you a point per dollar you spent so i would charge my regular things and pay it off every month and then constantly get gift cards.. well i guess that fun is over with! i doubt chases points program is any good.. most cards arent.. they want you to have a million points before you can get like a coffee mug and then they want you to pay 20 bucks to ship it to you.. worthless!!
