I saw a commercial for this card tonight.  I went to the website for it but still not sure what it is.



I'm thinking it is similar to American Express as there isn't a Visa or a MC logo on the card or the website.




Who accepts this card? Tonight is the first I've heard of it.  Anyone have one?

Fuck Chase, I'm still waiting for my new debit card from when they took over WaMu...

You will have to pay a huge fee to get the card.  Probably per year.

Like the VISA black card.  $1000 or more per year.

It's an airline points type card. Didn't see anything about an annual fee, but did see a $52 charge per ticket redeemed.

Yup. Not the best out there IMHO. I have two Chase mortgages and I don't do any business with them outside of that. (Friend is an agent).
I don' think thier financial service offerings are anything special, though they do offer the supposed stability of the Chase brand (YMMV).
Not being a hater, just my considered opinion.

I did some more looking at it seems this would be a benefit if I traveled more.  I don't so I will pass.  It doesn't seem like it would do anything more than the MC I already have.

No annual fee

pays 1% back in cash or trinkets/airfare/whatever.  No tiers like Discover card.

10,000 bonus points (aka $100) for signing up

I think I'd rather get a Chase business card that pays 3% on home improvement, office supplies & restaurants + 1% on everything else.  Or the Chase freedom card, which pays 3% on various stuff (changes each quarter, currently bookstores and discount stores, wal-mart, target, etc.) + 1% on everything else.

However, getting $100 for free does have some appeal

I have no idea what the interest rate might be, but if you like to borrow money a rebate credit card is not for you.

I do my primary banking with Chase, and also have a Chase CC with cashback rewards. It's 3% on the top spending in certain categories (I know automotive and dining are two, as I always get 3% on those) and 1% in all others.
