I got a Delta Sky Miles AmEx card last year. They (either AmEx or Delta) screwed up and assigned my a new frequent flier number and miles began accumilating there. I wanted all the miles on my real Delta number. AmEx and Delta pointed fingers at each other. Finally after several calls and several weeks, I conference called both parties and finally got it resolved. Two weeks later, AmEx lowered my card amount. That was the last straw. I cancelled the card. Never again will I have an AmEx card. And if I had a real choice in airlines out of SLC, I'd never fly Delta again either.

>A few months ago i was shocked in what the credit card companies were raising their interest rates to. Well, some replied that they have not seen that and I should call and complain. Well, since we always pay off our credit cards each month it really has not been an issue, but I really felt for those who do not.

>Today i just got my statement from credit card ('CITI') and was curious to what the rates were now. I was surprised to find out that the anual interest rate on standard purchases was now at 36% and the funny part was that the advanced interest is ony 22%. Not sure, but i think with the advance they want to charge you 5% up front.

>Also on a side note, our insurance company (Geico) promoted a credit card to put our car insurance on and there would be no charge for it. Since we either lost or misplaced one premium notice we decided that would be a good option. That lasted on premium and the credit card reduced the amount on the card from $8,000 to $600 and since our premium would be more than the $600 the over charge fee would kick in. Luckly, we spotted that right away and cancelled that program.
