I work in retail and have noticed that Chase Credit Cards are TOO Thick for the credit card terminals. Now since all cards are now forced with EMV chips. Inserting these thick cards into the credit card terminals are spreading the contacts farther apart from another, causing chip malfunctions to occur with thinner cards. I thought there was a standard thickness that everyone had to follow. I guess not. I would never recommend Chase Credit Cards until they fix the thickness of the credit card. This reminds me back to the days of the original Nintendo and Super Nintendo System.

Chase Freedom Unlimited I opened an account on Sept 4, applied to do a balance transfer from another credit card to Chase card. They said it would take 21 to 30 days to process then they would let me know if it would go through. I tried to log in today September 9th, found out my account had been frozen for a review. Have not even use the card yet. Called to cancel the card because I've been on hold for 3 hours trying to speak to someone. They refuse to cancel my card and my account customer service is terrible. Senior customer service are terrible. There is something not right with this account. Chase has problems, real problems. Hopefully this doesn't affect my credit. Buyer beware.

4 times in 72 hours my card was declined at different services. $0 balance as I pay it off completely every month. Customer service says they show nothing of any decline. I'd suggest that Chase get better software to better serve their customers. I have very little confidence in this card now. It was my primary business card but will be no longer.

Had my Chase Slate Visa for 7 months. Credit limit $4000. Have charges of $1400. Have made monthly payments on time during this 7 month period. Went to make a purchase of $101 dollars at Home Depot this past Saturday and my card was declined. Called customer service immediately and was told my account was closed and that I would receive a letter explaining why. They also gave me a number to call which turned out that they only answer M-F. Called that number on Monday and was told they did a review and decided that I had too many new accounts? Gentleman on the phone was curt and rude.
To close the account without same day notification and to receive a letter after the fact I find to callous and insensitive never mind embarrassing to me as I stood at checkout. Also now a closed account goes on my credit history when all I did was pay my monthly statement on time (never the minimum payment. I will recommend to everyone I know to stay away from Chase. Also I know there is fair lending practices stated in their original letters when I got the card. I wonder because my address is in a minority community in Boston MA that I am being profiled. Thumbs down on Chase credit card services.

I contracted with AZ Air and Heat through Costco to put in ductless air and heat and take out the floor heater in a home. AZ could not finish the job and I was not able to be back in the area for a few weeks. They tried to charge the entire $15000 to Chase and Chase called me to confirm. I told them the charge was not to go through and that I would call them when the job was complete. On the second pass, AZ "forgot" that they had to take out the floor heater and replace wallboard flush to the wall and plywood flush with the hardwood floor. They then tried again to charge the entire amount and Chase paid it. Then I had to call to try to remedy the situation so that the payment was not processed until this job was complete. I spent over an hour with various reps to try to remedy the situation.
Chase Customer service said they couldn't help, and put me through to the disputes department. The disputes department looked up my talks with Chase in which I told them NOT TO MAKE THIS PAYMENT until I called to tell them that the job was complete. There was NO NOTE BY THE PEOPLE I TALKED TO STATING THAT THIS WAS NOT TO BE PAID UNTIL I CALLED letting Chase know that the job was actually complete. AZ's business department seemed to not even be aware of whether jobs were complete, they just charged. I asked to speak to a supervisor. Michael then told me the same line. It seems Chase cannot send an email immediately to a customer so the customer can then view a letter or notice in their account file. I was told this was because of security issues and they haven't been hacked.
BUT... all of my account numbers are in my online file, all of my charges, all of my statements, BUT... they can't put information useful and helpful to the customer there. I asked for a call back from quality control or fraud prevention and Michael says "no one is gonna give me a call". He says Chase is also not set up to provide the customer with help or assistance caused by their INABILITY TO SERVE THE CUSTOMER, or TO APOLOGIZE FOR CAUSING THE CUSTOMER INCONVENIENCE. They weren't willing to do anything except submit the account into dispute. Hours wasted, and I was told clearly that they don't care to help and don't care to modernize their system. I have 3 credit cards with Chase. That is changing soon.

We had been customers for over ten years. Recently, a restaurant charged our credit card twice. We filed a dispute. The amount was credited back to our account, so we closed the dispute. Apparently, this was the wrong thing to do. Chase charged our account again. We called to get it corrected, and they would not correct the problem. They said we would need to go through with a written form of dispute and send it in for review. We did nothing wrong. Spent way too much time trying to get the problem fixed and their customer service was horrible. They do not care about their customers. We closed the account.

Opened a credit card with Chase a few months ago for the sign up bonus. Had to call in and speak with a professional but not very friendly representative to be approved, and once approved got a laughably low limit. Applied for another credit card at the same time and was approved online instantly with a limit five times that of Chase. I used the Chase card to get the sign up bonus, but was constantly having to make payments on it mid-cycle to keep utilization low and not hit my limit. The app is very glitchy. No search function available, and will often stall out trying to load and I'll have to close the app and then restart. Really annoying, especially compared to my main bank. It crashed once when I was trying to make a payment and had to wait a few days just to make sure it didn't go through and double charge me.
Nonetheless decided to try and open a joint savings account with Chase as I already had a banking relationship with them via the credit card. Applied online where I was informed I could apply only for an individual account and joint accounts could only be processed at a physical location. Annoying, but I decided I'd just add my spouse after the account was opened. They also asked some fairly prying questions about assets and liabilities, which I found a bit strange for a savings account. They had to verify the external bank account I was making the initial deposit from via two small deposits they then withdraw from the account. Standard procedure for this. I was supposed to go to their website and verify the small deposit amounts and then they're withdraw my initial deposit into the savings account... except their website kept glitching.
First of all the website layout is terrible. Even in the first message they sent me they told me to just search for keywords to even bring up the part of the site where I'd be able to verify my external account. Maybe it'd be nice to have an easier way to verify the account. When I finally found the section to verify I tried to do so only to have it pop up saying that part of the website wasn't working. I thought they may have been updating the website or needed more time to process the verification deposits on their end so waited a few days and tried again. Nope. Still didn't work. Even got another message from them saying I still needed to verify the external account. Thanks, I'm trying to. Throughout this process I forgot my password and had to update it. Their password process is excessive.
I understand it's for your finances so you want a secure password, but they go so far as to blacklist your last five passwords so you won't repeat them. Really annoying. I got fed up and just opened a savings account with American Express instead. Was able to apply online for a joint savings account, no prying questions about my finances beyond those required by law and to verify my identity, and the interest rate is well above what Chase was offering. And to verify my account for the initial deposit? A Big Red Button on the home page.
Sorry Chase, but you need to step it up. Poor website and app, and your services really aren't as hot as you think they are. Two stars for the pretty awesome credit card sign up bonus, but I'll be canceling my card before your annual fee hits, and I have no intention of verifying my account for the initial savings deposit even if your website will ever let me. We had a nice little fling but it's time for me to move onto someone a little more serious.

I called to see why I got a text message telling me my bill was past due. I hadn't used it in over a year and the card was cut up. They never sent me a bill telling me I had to pay an annual fee. Apparently they sent it on Aug 18 and they only give you 30 days to refund. I was 2 days late. I closed the account (which means my credit is going to take a hit because of that). Mark tells me I still owe the $69 annual fee even though I closed my account and hadn't used the card in over a year. I told him I wasn't going to pay something that I am not using. He said that was fine that it would just have late charges on it. Use your brain Chase... I realize this would be acceptable if I had a balance or even was remotely using it in the last year. This is the worst service I have ever had in any industry and I will tell EVERYONE not to use their services unless they want to be crapped on.

Had to cancel our trip due to back surgery and Doc's orders on traveling. Never had such an unpleasant experience dealing with an adjuster. Chase would not let you talk with and, for that matter, they could never get her on the phone. Did finally receive a check for airline ticket covered costs but they refused to include all other hotel costs associated with my claim. I am getting a BOA card, zero fee and many of same benefits. I will never trust Chase Travel Card again.

I phoned Chase today based on information from Credit Karma regarding the credit card that I had for over 16 years was cancelled due to nonpayment for the past three months. I did not receive notification of this action either by regular mail or e-mail. The first level person I spoke to was unable to provide any real information regarding my account, I understand, most are simply reading from a screen.
When I requested to speak to a supervisor she provided the same information as did the first person who answered the phone. I expected her to be able to provide more in-depth information; especially when I explained that the information provided to Credit Karma was not the same. The supervisor placed the burden on me, the consumer, and offered to transfer me to the credit department. The only reason I had two Chase cards was that they purchased the company from my original card. There were other issues regarding their service and inability to provide correct, complete information. My recommendation would be to choose another card.

I have my statement emailed me and then it is also online. The two statements were different. The one they emailed me said all transactions posted on the 8/23 while the one they were using said transaction weren't posted till 8/26. I paid off my bill on 8/26 and then they readded those transactions saying they weren't posted again until a later date. I have paid off the same $110 3 times this months. They literally told me to stop paying my bill to make it right (because they have never collected interest off me). DO NOT USE CHASE. THEY WILL CHEAT THEIR WAY IN EXTRA MONEY IF YOU ARE NOT LETTING THEM HAVE INTEREST FROM YOU.

Chase applied a block to my account based on suspected fraud. This is a great move to protect credit card from loses. However, no attempts had been made to verify suspected (but valid) transaction with me. I called Chase to inquire why I wasn't contacted which is common practice with all other credit cards I own. I was informed that I need to set-up an alert on my account for Chase to contact me in case of fraud. (Note: I never had to do it in any other card). Since I could not see an option to be selected specifically for fraud, I asked to be guided to the proper place. One hour and 20 minutes later, after being transferred 5 times, every time validating my identity, I gave up. Not a single person was able to see the same screen I was presented or had any idea where to go. This is terrible way to treat a customer.

I understand I should have done my homework. Believe me, lesson learned! Chase charges 3% on every single foreign transaction. When you use your credit card for your hotel, airfare, and other purchases, it adds up! The incredibly unhelpful customer service rep told me that they "have to pay for the conversion somehow." Really? It costs that much to maintain the computers that do that? If they were paying people to do it, I might not mind, but it's just lining the shareholders' pockets as all their "fees" do. So disappointed.

My story starts 2004. Opened nonprofit center on credit. Chase was the first one that took me from 12 percent to 33 percent because I had other credit cards for business. Once they did it the rest of cards did it drowning me. Center closed. They took one of the accts from 1100.00 to 154, 482. Put a judgment on me for that amount. In my opinion they are legalized thieves!!! Don't ever use this bank, in fact any bank or credit cards.

Have been a Chase credit card holder for 13 years, used for all purchase over $10, paid in full each month for the duration of my use, NEVER ONCE LATE. Last month I thought I cashed in my cash back and applied it to my bill, but did not. Got my bill this month with a 25% ($9.16) late fee. E-mailed twice and called once, told 'too bad.' Second e-mail informed me I'd probably pay an additional late fee for the window between payment and receipt. Total **. This is what on time/in full loyalty gets you! Will try a supervisor tomorrow and if no satisfaction, will cancel my card. Absolutely disgusted. No mistakes, ever, never.

I have been calling Chase Freedom about two wrongful charges on my credit card statement since March 8, 2017, for six months now, speaking to over ten different Chase representatives. I have been reassured and promised each time by Chase representatives that these two charges will be taken care of or have already been credited back. However, every time I check my statements, I find that this is not true. Today, I spent four hours on the phone and spoke with six different Chase representatives (and transferred to three different departments). The last and most unpleasant conversation I had was with Mindy, the Account Supervisor for Disputes. She offered absolutely zero help and terrible customer service, despite how clearly upset I was. Her complete lack of sensitivity and helpfulness was the final straw. I asked to be transferred to Cardmember Services, where I cancelled my Chase Freedom credit card.
I am greatly disturbed by Chase's apparent lack of competence and customer care. How can they allow multiple representatives to inaccurately reassure clients of something that is so clearly false? It is completely unacceptable to make their cardmembers call numerous times and spend countless hours over the phone with no resolution! It has been six months of mishandling and neglecting a very simple issue of crediting back two wrongful transactions. I have been a loyal Chase customer for over 10 years and am outraged by how either incompetent or indifferent this business has proven to be.

I had written a review to this site on 8/23 re Chase not finding a wire payment... Now an investigation is ongoing to see if fraud was committed (not by Chase or the sending bank)... I fault Chase, as a banking institution, for not investigating the wire reference number, as I started doing last Friday... If they had, we wouldn`t have wasted 6 weeks and extra payments... they merit 3 stars because for many years they have given excellent service...

After 22 years with 2 different Chase Credit Cards, including one Slate, now we have finally had a bad customer experience. Previously we've had no problems and no late payments... We loaned our card to our daughter for her business expenses. The total was near the $15,000 limit so she wired $15,000 on 7/10 from her business account at her credit union. An IMAD number, confirming the transaction reached its destination (thru the Federal Reserve) and a confirmed time of receipt by Chase was obtained by the Credit Union.
My daughter followed the wiring instructions given by a Chase employee yet for the past 6 weeks Chase has denied having it... We have sent multiple faxes, with Chase denying having received them, tho' we have confirmations of "successful transmission". We have made multiple phone calls and can never speak with a really high-up person... Have dealt with 3 different departments... Even made 2 extra monthly payments since wire lost after the CU traced it (back to Chase). Reported to the Mo. Division of Credit Unions who say that it sounds like the CU did what it was supposed to. Now I'm starting to report Chase to different places, starting with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We will see but I have lost patience and will probably seek a new card elsewhere.

I received an email notice that my payment had not been received. (The payment was mailed three weeks ago.) I called; had the funds transferred from my checking account. This morning I called to have the late fee reversed. Miraculously, they found the check on the very night I called. I don't believe in coincidences. I think they know I would have verified that the check had been processed and thus they had to apply it to my account... or go through an auditing procedure to find out exactly where they put that money. I think they are doing it to collect late fee payments even when payments are made well within the deadline. I closed the account. This is the second time it has happened with Chase. It has never happened with any other bank or credit union.

So in the 20 years I have had credit cards, I have had a ton. NEVER had ANY issue with any of them. In those 20 years I have filed maybe 4 or 5 disputes ever. Then my first charge with them I got shafted by the company. I disputed the charge and asked for a new card number – I was told NO NEED AT ALL – we can just block the merchant. Then I get a bill and the merchant charged me again - even though I have a letter in writing that 8 days before I put a stop on them ever charging my card. I was upset with Chase bc they really caused me to now have to dispute TWO charges with the same merchant bc of their incompetence. I spoke to two managers on separate occasions. Both talked over me, were the rudest people ever and one even started yelling out of the blue. I then asked for someone higher.
To stop the fraud, I had to cancel the card as lost or stolen – which is what I said to do to the first guy who assured me it was not necessary bc he would block them. On a Sat I reported it lost, and was told 3-5 business days to get a new card and number. There was no holiday or anything and yet Friday 5 business days later it still is not here. This is an Amazon credit card & I am shocked that Amazon does business with these people. EVERY credit card I have ever had replaced and that has happened dozens of times as I shop online a lot and people just get my info somehow – but every company overnights me the card. They literally refuse to overnight it although it is past their maximum wait of 5 days. Beware of this company. Managers yelling at me when I never raised my voice at all is insanity and never has ever happened to me with any other card. Discover treats me very well – use them.

I sure wish I had gone to this website before I applied for the Slate card. I applied online and requested a balance transfer amount. I was approved for half that amount. I tried to completely close the account. They will not do that!! Even though they say it's "closed" the card actually is still dormant for at least six months!! And the inquiry stays on your credit report. What a disappointment! I am sorry that I applied for anything with Chase!

I have credit cards with Chase. Got them both around the same time. I haven't been late or over the credit line for over 10 years on ANY of my credit cards, yet one Chase credit card has a purchase APR that's 10% higher than the other.

Been a Chase customer for 10+ years. My wife and I have a Chase SLATE credit card, which we use frequently and pay off on a regular basis. We have no issues with it. 2 months ago, I opened up this Freedom card, have been using it, and paying it down each month. Over the weekend, I tried to make a transaction and was declined. The credit limit is only $1,500 and I maybe had $300 on the balance (was only trying to purchase something about $150). After a weekend of horrible customer service by Chase, I was continuously told to call the "Fraud Department" on Monday (as they are conveniently not open on the weekends). Upon calling them Monday morning, I was told my account was put under review and they are determining if "I should still use the card."
Mind you, my other card has a 14K limit. This one is only $1,500. And yet, they have to determine if I should still use the card. Hmmm... Seems like if you make purchases and pay it down, they don't like that. They'd rather you max out and make minimal monthly payments. I can't have my credit card being put on an arbitrary freeze by Chase, at any time they "feel" like it. When this is resolved I am closing this card down and going somewhere else.

I called customer service to ask why my Apr was 29.99 for purchases which is the same for cash advantages. They couldn't tell me at first, then a "supervisor" came to the phone just to tell me that Thebes's Apr of 29.99 for purchases was a penalty in 2008 for being late with a payment. Now, my question was, "we are in 2017, and you have been penalizing me for almost 9 years?" His answer was "once you get penalize with a high interest, that rate NEVER goes back to a lower rate." I was so upset that a company that said that they value my business with them for 12 years can penalize me for almost 10. They are plain thieves. So I decided to close that account even though that action will affect my credit score. I will NEVER bank with them and I'll never do business with them EVER again.

I've had a Chase United CC for a VERY long time only to discover that they have been charging me a $35 late fee every month that I've paid them on the due date. The catch? Paid it on line after 8pm EST. Are you kidding me? They did remove two months of late fees, but refused to go back any further even though the payments were made on the due date. A complete scam. You apparently can "phone" in up to midnight on the due date, but better set your calendar reminder to pull off the road at high speeds to keep Chase Bank happy. United has gone down hill as an airline & Chase can swim down the same river. I'll never do any business with Chase Bank.

I stayed one night (06/27/2017) on business trip in Holiday Inn at Newark Airport. The room was prepaid by the booking agent. A few days ago, I found there is a charge for that night on my credit card. I called the hotel, who said they did NOT charge my credit. It was only a hold that should be lifted in a few days. The Chase dispute team never responded to my messages and disputes (actually they erased my initial dispute and ignored later ones, despite my requesting them to respond many times).
In the end, when I had to call them on 07/21/2017, they were rather rude to me over the phone. Instead of making a simple phone to the merchant, they keep asking me to "prove" I was not charged. It is like they could put what ever charge in your credit statement and the burden of evidence is on you. And even when both me the merchant deny the transaction (with a statement from the hotel), they still want some further "prove." It seems to me that this is not even a dispute, but simply a mistake between the merchant and the credit, for which I could do little about but the credit company could easily solve by contacting the merchant. But they just do not want to show the least respect to their loyal customer.

I had my Chase Credit Card for three years and used it for Almost Everything. I attempted to make a purchase for something from Home Depot over the phone because it was the last one they had in stock and due to the price of almost $800, the store wouldn't just hold the item. Attempting to purchase the item over the phone, somehow triggered my account to "flagged" by the Fraud Department and suspended.
I called the 800 number customer service line to speak with someone about getting my account "unlocked" since it wasn't fraud. I spoke to this representative who told me he was a Fraud Department Supervisor, he asked my 3 short questions concerning where I had lived and worked and I answered his questions and his response was simply, "Your answers don't match our records so I'm sorry I can't unlock your account, is there Anything else I can do?" I asked how I could get the account unlocked since my questions didn't match, he told me if I called from my home phone they could verify the number. I told him my cell number was on my account but he told me since it was a cell then anyone could call using my cell.
I couldn't believe that a company that I had used for three years had such horrible customer service. When I arrived home I contacted Chase again and was able to get my account unlocked, I sent several emails asking about my experience and what steps could be done to prevent this from happening again. I was planning to travel to Europe and the thought of being "Stranded" in a foreign country with a Credit Card Company whose Fraud Department doesn't care if you’re stranded or not bothered me. I sent several emails and received automated replies stating they would get back with me but no one ever did so I had No Choice but to Cancel my Chase Credit Card and take my business somewhere else.
After my account had been closed, I finally received an email asking why I closed my account... I replied stating that No One wanted to reply to my email. It seems Chase is Only concerned when you actually leave versus doing something about the Issue when you’re still a customer. I wouldn't recommend Chase to anyone and continue to share my poor experience with friends and family to keep them from being disappointed by Chase like I was!

I applied, and was accepted, for a Chase rewards card with zero foreign transaction fees and a 60,000 point bonus if I spent $2000 over the first two months. I received a card with 3% foreign transaction fees and no bonus. I would really like the deal I signed up for. Unfortunately, I had to immediately cancel the card. I hope it didn't nick my credit rating and make it more difficult to get the card I need. By the way, it was a Southwest Airlines card.

I have 2 Chase credit cards, one of which I use regularly. My daughter has a card of her own on this account for her to use in an emergency while away at college. While visiting her and taking her shopping, the card was declined. I had to pay with my debit card which made an issue with my checking account. Upon calling Chase, while still in the parking lot, they informed me that my card was flagged for security issues because I was traveling. We reside less than 100 miles from my daughters school and that is not traveling to me. The CSR was snotty and stated, "We sent you a text message and if you would have responded to the text you could have rerun the charge and it would be accepted". Who in hell reads their text messages while standing in a check out line?!
Last week I was in NYC and used my card for a large purchase. It was declined. I checked my text messages and responded and the charge was approved when rerun. After that point all of my other charges were also declined. My daughter could not get an Uber and all of my regular recurrent monthly charges were declined such as my life insurance and my gym memberships. Why decline charges you have a history of approving FOR YEARS!?!
I called Chase again and talked to a less snotty CSR who explained that since I have 0 liability fraud protection they have take these measures "to protect the account". I understand their position but this level of security makes this account unreliable and undependable. Even though I have been a victim of identity theft I do not feel this level of paranoia is justified. Regardless, it is unacceptable to me if I can not rely on the card to function as well as every other card I have currently or in the past.

We have been Chase customers since about 2000 (formerly WaMu). We have 6 bank accounts, 4 credit cards and have financed 2 cars with Chase. EVERY time we pay off our debt in full, Chase reduces the credit card lines. WITHOUT notice. Zero calls or letters. We just paid off debt again and they decreased my husband's credit card line. AGAIN!! They claim they didn't like what was on our credit reports. And when the specialist looked into it further, she stated she couldn't find any reason specifically why they were reduced. Come to find out, they ONLY review credit reports when you pay off your debt with a higher than normal amount. This is called Chasing the Money. As long as you have a high balance, make your monthly and don't complain. They will leave you alone for years.
Furthermore, my husband only has 2 cards with balances on the credit report. And he earns a extremely fair wage in which the lender decided over the phone that she just didn't like our spending pattern at this time. Hmm. Money in the bank and zero balances on every other credit line we have. Yep this is a bad spending pattern to me! This is why his limit was reduced and furthermore, would not be reinstated. We have a great credit score, pay monthly on-time EVERY time. Never late, and pays more than the minimum. For almost twenty years we have been these kinds of customers. And they are not concerned at all that we are now pulling all 6 bank accounts and credit cards as they have decided to not restore his already earned limit. DO NOT APPLY for credit with CHASE Bank.

I applied for a business credit card with Chase in March, submitted all the information and documents required. The business credit card was approved and my husband and I received our cards. He is the primary. We activated the cards. Chase approved us for $3,000 credit, which is very low, but that's ok. We wanted to take advantage of the introductory offer, spend $3,000 in the first 3 months and receive $300 cash back, so we went to Best Buy and purchased a laptop and printer. We used my Chase Ink Business Cash card and it was declined. We called the number in the back and were connected to a rep in India who could not really tell us what was going on. He asked to speak with my husband who was the primary on the account. He asked him some security questions and he was not satisfied with all the answers, he kept stating something about a hotmail email account, my husband has never had a hotmail account, nor I.
My husband authorized me to speak on his behalf and I asked him why the card was denied, he said "the card was brand new." To which I said, "and what is the problem?" He said we should wait for a call back and if they fix the problem I could use it. We waited at Best Buy for an hour. Our toddler and baby soiled themselves, because we were there so long. Finally we decided to open an account with Best Buy and pay for the items. We were approved on the spot for $6k credit. We never received a call back from Chase. We've since called Chase 5-6 times. It's apparently under review with a senior specialist. My husband who is the primary on the account called in last Friday and authorized me to speak for him on all accounts for this credit card. I called on Monday and still they had nothing to report but that they would give us a call back in the next 72 hours, well it's Friday and I call in again.
My husband works long hours and can't be on the phone. Now I speak with someone in India. I ask they transfer me to someone in the USA, they instead transfer me twice to reps in the Philippines. I am frustrated and just end up speaking with Laura **. I am put on hold for over 10 minutes, and she finally said that she is trying to get into the account but needs to speak with the authorized officer. I told her to read the notes from last Friday, I am authorized. She said, "that authorization was only for that day." I am beyond irate now. I called on Monday and that was not the case. It's been a month now and we still have no clue what is going on with our Chase Ink Business Cash account. We could have gone with any bank out there but we chose Chase...never again!!! They have no clue why the account is under review.

I applied for a Chase (Marriott Rewards) card and was declined. I requested a review since I was declined because I have opened too many cards in the last two years (2 cards). Even though the cards do not have balances (or have been cancelled) and I have a extremely high credit score (820 out of 900), they still told me they would not give me a credit card. I have never been declined for anything in my life regarding financial stuff. This is unheard of and they did not display any customer service or flexibility. Completely mind-blowing. I will never apply for any credit card that is associated with Chase Bank again. Unbelievable. Stay far away from Chase Bank credit cards.

Paid credit card off in full my due date. Received a new bill with an interest charge. Called and was told I had to pay the interest that it is due because the due date on the bill is before the closing date. On the back of the statement it is not explained that way nor when I called before I paid it off. Someone needs to start a class action lawsuit to teach this credit card company a lesson.

I lost my wallet the morning of the 15th of June but was running to work and packing for a road trip after work. While my roommate looked for the wallet around the house I waited until after work around 6pm, when my roommate said she looked everywhere and could not find it, to start dealing with the cards. First was my debit card which I cancelled on my phone, second was my American Express where I called the card theft line I found online after a search and was laughing at the initial message asking me to enter the card number. I had pressed the stolen/missing card option and the prompt asked me for the card number? Really? Pretty stupid but I muscled through and the rep eventually asked for my SS and cancelled the card and said another was on the way.
Then I looked up Visa on Wikipedia and went to their page and clicked on their official website and then clicked on the list of phone numbers. The head scratching thing is that the list of phone numbers is a picture that you can't copy or click on for ease of use. I was also driving across the state and had to do this while focusing on the road. I searched the number online and found one that matched the lost stolen cc number on the page so trusted it as bonafide. I called the LOST AND STOLEN card number and just like American Express the initial prompt asked for the card number which made me laugh again. When the agent got to the phone she asked for the issuing bank. Issuing bank? How do I know? I have had this Visa since 1995. It has the word Visa on it. Visa is the issuer in my mind. She said that she could not help me if I did not know the issuing bank.
I offered my ss number and she said "Nope, you have to know the issuing bank or have the card number." I said that is ridiculous and she put me on hold and left me there. I called back thinking this has to be an error. The next agent told me the same thing and I asked for a supervisor. Once more, terminal hold AGAIN. The next agent hung up on me after I insisted that he start with the first bank on the list of banks and search by my name of ss number. I finally remembered the word SLATE on the card and looked that up on the phone. The name that stood out was Chase Bank. I called again; said Chase Bank and the Visa agent transferred me to the bank. I got it suddenly! Customer service on the cheap! Get the bank name from the card holder and then transfer to that bank.
I had never understood this. I have had this Visa since the nineties and to me Visa is the name of the company that issued the card and Visa is the company that I go to when there are problems. After being transferred to Chase and AGAIN choosing the lost/stolen card option the woman who answered asked me for the card number. I said how would I know the card number if it is stolen to which she replied "How do we know it is your card if you do not know the card number?". I exploded. "How stupid are you." I yelled in frustration and used some choice C words and F words. She hung up on me. I was resigned that it would have to wait until I got home the next day and look up my log on info that is saved to my computer and log on to the card site and report my card stolen. The night before I left messages to Visa, went to their Facebook page, and Twitter account and asked for help. No response.
Another big company with touching "pride" and memorial day posts but zero desire to help the owners of their card. When I finally made it back home the next day around 10am and logged in got a DIFFERENT phone number to call and called in. AGAIN I was asked for the card number and asked the rep how many people laugh at that. He said very few so I have decided that it was me that was out of step with reality. I wrote Chase through their internal feedback system on their site. The site timed out TWICE while I was writing them. Another genius infrastructure feature. I told them I will not use their card again and will remove any auto pay I have going on with their card. I have two cards. One with a zero balance and one with an 8k balance. I will pay that off and not use the card again other than emergencies and pay it off right away.
If you know any thieves tell them to steal Visa cards. By the time the card is FINALLY reported as missing a thief can make off with tons of purchases. Visa is now a joke in my eyes even if they insist that Chase is the real villain here. Chase is not off the hook because of the behavior of their agent who insisted I provide a MISSING credit card number. What a joke!!!

I pay $95 annual membership instead of a FREE cc to use their benefits such as protection with purchases. I have been w/ Chase for over 20 years and NEVER filed a lost/theft report. The 1x I did after almost 3 weeks, it's declined! Re: Claim #**. I called Chase Card Benefits that my kid's phone was stolen. She said to file a claim online which I did on June 4, 2017. On June 6, 2017, all I received from Chase was that I needed itemized sales receipted indicating the purchase of the price I am claiming.
A police report was not requested till June 8. When I received this email, I emailed back and called if we need to file a police report. Due to system error, Chase needs to call me back. I didn't receive an email re. this police report or a call till June 12, 2017. Chase is quite slow in processing this and many days have lapsed. Also there was NO PROMPTS or mentioning in the claims online that a police report is needed!
Additionally the rep, Megan called me on 9th of June requesting a police report. I told her and I have emailed you guys I can go and obtain a police report. She said, she needs to speak to someone or she needs to check something out. On June 13th, she called stating the claim is denied because a police report was not in place. Why wasn't I requested a police report in this email on June 6th request?
I have been with Chase when I was 16 years old. For 16 years, I paid an annual fee! If you look at my histories, I have purchased many expensive items! I do NOT have histories of filing lost or theft items at all. This is my FIRST item that is lost and this is how Chase treats me! I feel Chase is trying to avoid paying this claim. I am a good cardholder, I pay my bills on time, etc. I am not very happy. What's the point in paying $95 annual membership for? I paid this fee to have a sense of security when my item purchased is damaged and lost. If I was told in the beginning or when I file this claim that a police report needs to be popped up then I would have filed a police report.

I have been a Chase Sapphire Reserved member for over a six months. I was a happy customer till last week Chase put my credit card on hold without any prior notification or warning. I was shopping for my oversea trip and my card declined. First, I assumed it is related to their security and fraud prevention, so I paid the bill with my Amex and left. I called their customer service number and the rep after verifying my account asked me when was the last time that I used my card and I answered. Then the rep told me that my account is under review and I have to wait 10 days for them to get back to me. I was shocked to hear that because I had done nothing wrong for the account to be under review. I have always paid my account in full and on time. I asked the rep about why would the account go under review and she said she cannot answer that question and it is just random.
It seemed odd to me that she can't answer that question, so I asked if there is a department that can answer my question and she first said no, this is our policy and you have signed it. Then she said that they have to make sure that I didn't lie on my application and they have to verify that all the information I provided on my application was true. I asked how come they are doing this now after six months? Finally, after me insisting for answers she gave me a number (1-800-290-1316) to call and ask them why my account was under review. Once I called the number, the rep rudely asked me why I am calling them if I have already talked to customer service! I responded that I am trying to find out why my account is under review and how come I did not get any kind of notification that this is happening so I could prepare for it.
He replied with a harsh tone that customer service has put send the file to review and they had informed me and they have to make sure they are still comfortable giving me an unsecured line of credit. I was very surprised to hear that because the previous rep told me it was completely random! I have never felt so disrespected by anyone that I felt dealing with the Chase customer service that day! A couple of times they said that they feel sorry for me!? I didn't know what to respond to that and why they felt that way. I suggest if you are considering Chase as your credit card company, please read all the reviews online, read the contract that you are signing before committing to them.

This has not happened to me once but on multiple occasions over the years. I had opened one Chase Marriott Credit Card and they gave me a big credit line which I didn't ask for. Before, that there was a Chase Preferred which I had closed because I wasn't using it long time back. Later the year that I opened the Chase Marriott Card, I was given an offer from Citi Credit Card with good miles offered and took that option. Then next year I took the Amex Delta since I travel and I like to use the points that I get for money spent. Now they were offering Chase Southwest after 2 years that I liked and wanted to get the benefit since I have no other cards with Chase I thought I'd apply.
Many of my friends told me that once you bank with other banks, Chase will start declining your card saying "you have too many cards"?! I thought I had only one with Chase, have great credit and nothing bad on my history so I am okay. But, to my surprise, they actually declined me!! When I called to ask, the standard answer they gave me was "You have too many cards"? When asked, which cards... all they said was you have card with Citi, Amex and Barclay... So? I have great credit, no other Chase card other than the Marriott rewards which I USE. I am paying all cards on time plus those are other banks and they are not complaining so why is Chase having so much trouble with me banking with other banks??? No answer!! Instead they try to cut me off by saying - "Do you have any other questions"...
I asked you a question to which you had no answer CHASE BANK. What does Chase mean by too many cards when I have just one Chase card and a 2 others with Citi and 1 with Amex and 1 with Barclay!! They hurt your credit and give no reply for why they did what they did. Are they indirectly trying to tell the consumers to 'not bank with any other bank' if you like a Chase credit card?

After requesting the dates of said purchases Mellonie stated they were promotional offers she was viewing not purchases I had made, trying to brush off her error and getting indignant. She continued on to insisted that I did not shop through the Chase portal for extra points when in fact I had, further stating there was nothing they could do about it.

By waiting to post my payment, they were able to charge me interest on the balance.
To add insult to injury, the new statement shows my previous balance, my payment in full of the balance, and the new interest charged on a zero balance. Their explanation? My payment wasn't posted until AFTER my due date... and for some reason, this is my fault. I pay on time, they delay posting it. Beware! Don't just follow what's in print - call and ask someone.

We have been card holders for many years and paid this balance off on time only to be railroaded for additional interest.

Today I disputed a charge on my PAID off card. This was the 2nd time in recent months I paid off the card and made sure there were no pending transactions and told them that there should not be any future charges to the account. I was shocked I not only had a balance but a past due balance. I was told to provide date verifying when payment method was changed on account that charged my CHASE card. They state without that they cannot dispute any charge. I spent the entire afternoon on the phone with the other company getting the runaround and different answers before finally getting confirmation that it was in fact corrected though not case noted -- they looked in the system to confirm it.
The business confirmed my payment method was successfully changed on March 24th at 9:37 AM (as verified by emails I received). Yet, (despite clarifying with CHASE and the other business that there were no pending transactions and no charges to be made on the CHASE card -- April 6th I was charged $238). April 10th I was informed by the business that no payments had been received for previous month and CHASE card was not charged (my alternate card just wasn't showing as being applied -- I was then assured it was corrected and I would be charged so much for my March and April bill). I've gotten the runaround and different answers all the time about what was paid so I can't tell if they've charged it to my alternate card as well (different amounts and confusing explanations).
Anyhow, once I did get confirmation that the payment method had been successful March 24th, I called CHASE back with details and was informed I must provide statement from alternate payment method that shows payment was made with other card (April 10 the amount due was not showing on my alternate card and should've been billed the 6th -- a much smaller amount showed. I was told by business it would be on my next billing statement and I was angry I would have so much charged at once). The point is they failed to change payment method and I now have a wrongful charge and late fees on a paid off card. Chase refuses to dispute charge. Company has admitted it made a mistake but cannot change it at this point if Chase does not dispute -- they cannot charge correct card.
I have paid off this Chase card many times and somehow old bills keep getting charged to it (and I've had new numbers so I'm really confused about why this happens). I now have to pay again to be finished with it and will cancel the card to be rid of it. This is not including the fact that another company had been charging me monthly TWICE for a service they were able to verify had in fact been cancelled and refunds were to be posted. They could not explain why it was charging twice or never was cancelled. There is no credit on my account for the many months of charges. Do not do business with CHASE PERIOD.

She offered to credit me 40,000 more, but I would be debited back the $200! If I had to purchase 40,000 SWA miles, it would be about 2.75 cents per mile which is about $1100. I told her to go ahead and debit me the $200.

Last week Chase sent me a form letter saying that my "business" credit card account was missing information and if I didn't call them and give them the info they would cancel my card. I've had the card for years, and use it regularly, so what information could be "missing"? The call center person would only give me his first name and said he had no ID number. I gave him the credit card number and my name but then he also wanted date of birth. OK, I guess that's needed to confirm who I am. Then he wanted to know what county I live in. I gave him that but he didn't ask what state I was in. They send me a bill every month, so they should have my address, right? He then puts me on hold "to verify this information." What? If he can verify the county against my address, why have me call him in the first place? He could have found that out with a simple Google search.
After several minutes he comes back and asks what type of company? Is it a Proprietorship, Corporation, LLC, etc? The card has the business name and LLC printed right on the front, and it's in the billing address - so why doesn't he know it's an LLC? Next he wants to know what the limit is on the card. Like I would know that off the top of my head. I have over a dozen cards. And they should know the limit, right? I told him I didn't know and he made a sighing sound on the phone like I was an idiot, then skipped to the next question: Did I use my SS# for my company and if so, what is it? Wouldn't they know that? I filled out an application in order to get the card in the first place. I said no, so he asked me for my company's Federal ID #.
Now I'm beginning to question whether this confirmation thing is legitimate. I tell him that it feels scammy to me and he says they sent me a letter and I countered that I could create and print a similar simple one page letter and substitute any phone number in there. The phone number on the letter is not the one on the card. He gets angry at me and says go ahead and call the number on the card and they will ask for all the same info again. I haven't done that yet.
If this is not a scam, it's some odd form of corporate harassment. Can you imagine calling up one of your long term customers and subjecting them to something like this? Essentially asking a customer to apply for credit even though they have always paid on time and have a stellar credit rating. It would be business suicide.

I did balance transfer to Chase card for 0% interest for one year. Each month I paid the amount of any new charges plus extra towards the transfer balance. My goal was not to pay any interest and have it totally paid off by the end of the 12 months. Chase applied only the minimum payment amount to my purchases and the rest went to my balance transfer. Thus I was just accumulating more interest on new purchases. Until you can pay off the whole balance you will accumulate interest on any new purchases.

Logged on to check when my Amazon Prime account renewed. Instead, I found out that my cards were both showing as past due for like $50. I checked my email history, and there were no statements in my email. I checked my mail, no statements there, either.
I called Chase, and they told me that the emails had been sent, but never kicked back to them. I said 'OK, you know my history with Chase. How did no one call me or anything to check to see what the status was?'. The rude woman on the phone was just saying, "Oh, well, cancel your cards or whatever." So, I did. Fortunately, there was no 30 day late, but I decided that having the available credit was less valuable to me than knowing that I wouldn't get some random late payment on my credit, since they won't send me statements, etc. I think Chase was just trying to defraud me, and I believe their practices are unfair to consumers.

They said that I have recently spent too much money on credit cards. Yes I had a high utilization across the board but I had just turned the corner to start moving forward.
They ignored the fact that my mortgage was just recently paid in full as well! BUT Not only did they lower my limits, they closed the gap that I did have and set my limits to the current balance. CREATING AN ARTIFICIAL 100% UTILIZATION! They don't care about your history with them. They don't care about their customers. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! They CHANGE THE RULES even if you are paying on time and staying under your limit. CHASE PLAYS BY THEIR OWN RULES!!! NOT INTERESTED IN YOU OR THE MONEY YOU PAY IN INTEREST!

My United Airline branded Chase credit card account was closed even though I owed no money and had a positive balance. Because of a vendor error I was credited several times with a refund from United Airlines that should have come as one payment. This violated Chase's rule that if accounts are only paid with vendor credit they are cancelled. Chase sent me letters about this but because I had a positive balance and I subscribed to automatic minimum payment I did not think I had to address the matter. It turns out that the automatic payment only works if you owe them money. As I didn't, the only payments were coming from the vendor who owed me money. This is a classic catch-22.
I went all the way up the chain of command 5 levels to their executive office. While the rep in the executive office was polite and responsive he had no power to overrule the computer algorithm and restore my credit card even though my account was fully up to date and even had a credit. This makes the whole concept of customer service and of an executive office level of customer service meaningless when it cannot override a computer algorithm. Human discretion and good sense were the big losers. Because I fly United a lot I will need to apply for a new card - let's see if my account having been closed now blocks me from getting a new card. That would complete the catch 22. It is my wishful thinking that some doctoral candidate or investigative reporter will find and use this as an example of how all meaningful human connection and judgment gets bled out of the customer relationship with big corporations.

Chase (Southwest Rapid Rewards) - I initially signed up for this card for the points, which I got and was happy with. The next year, I was surprised to receive an annual fee; bad on me for not reading the fine print. Soon after I received the card, I started getting offers in the mail, a couple every month, which I threw out. Unfortunately, I threw out the invoice for the annual fee and so when I realized I had a past due amount, I called to cancel the card. Because the unknown fee was over 30 days old, they would not refund the fee but offered me more points to stay open for the year that I would be paying for. I declined as I have too many credit options that don't use these types of disrespectful tactics to squeeze their customers for dollars. Good customer service is what keeps me as a customer, not ransom fees.

My family had all of the credit cards in our possession and none of us were in Westwood that day. We promptly disputed the charge, but Chase upheld the charge. Chase said that even though Panda Express could not provide a copy of a signed receipt, it was upholding the charge because we had all of the cards in our possession. We appealed and Chase denied the appeal saying Panda Express did not have to provide a copy of the charge because we did not dispute the charge promptly, even though we disputed the charge within 10 days.

I took advantage of the 0% Balance Promotion Checks and thought I was paying off the balance over the year allowed. I was using my card to charge normal purchases and paying more than the required minimum monthly balance in order to pay off the promotion check on time. Evidently, unless you pay your entire statement balance in full each month, the money you pay is not put towards the balance of your promotion check. It is split up between your credit balance and your promotion balance. They will not apply it differently.
When I called the first month, they reversed the promotion interest charge. I paid what the bank associate suggested I pay. The same thing happened the next month and the next month. It is deceptive to anyone who carries a credit card balance that they can never pay off the promotion balance until the ENTIRE credit card statement balance is paid in full. DO NOT USE CHASE 0% PROMOTION CHECKS. It's a shameful way for this bank to make pennies off of millions of consumers.

In the meantime we had mailed our regular payment of $100.00 so they got our payment and the bank's payment with an excess of $100.00. We hadn't deducted our payment from the payoff. Chase charged us interest on our account even though it was paid off in excess of what they were owed! They are the greediest, crookest, people we have ever dealt with.

I have been a great customer since 2013. I paid off my balance of 4600+, Nov. 2016. I threw my card in the drawer, happy to know that acct was satisfied. Come to find out, when I pulled my card to use it for the first time since Nov., they charged me interest and late fees for a couple months. I paid that off, 146.00. They closed my account. When I called about this, they had good record keeping, saying they called 2x and sent monthly statements. (Why would I open it when my account is satisfied? Probably just another spam email?)
I suggested they actually speak to the person, rather than "assume" the person gets an email (spam folder). I asked them to leave a message and he says, "We can't do that, privacy policy." "You have my phone number (not private). Leave a message to call back about a balance on the acct." This seems to be a repetitive problem with this company. No problem, I will take my business to someone else! I suggest you do, also. Someone wise once told me, "Banks are never your friend." So much for getting credit paying off my $4600.

Because of fraudulent activity on my social security number I had placed a fraud alert with Transunion and the other credit bureaus. When I applied for a car lease with the fraud alert on my social security number I had no problem. All I had to do was answer a few additional questions. When I applied for this card I assumed it would be the same process. However, it certainly wasnt as the fraud department completely dropped the ball.
On March 9, 2017, I went to my local chase branch to apply for the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. The bank officer made the application online and was contacted, as I expected, by the fraud department. At this point the whole process began to fall apart. He put me on the phone with them and they explained that they could not verify my address and that I needed to fax to them proof of my residency. They indicated that a drivers license was acceptable information and that once received it would take approximately to seven days to process it, Moments later, I faxed them my drivers license from the bank branch assuming the issue would be resolved.
On March 15, 2017, I received a letter from the fraud department stating that they required proof of current physical address. I immediately called and was told that they did have the information and would reprocess it. I asked them to call me on my mobile phone if there was a problem and was told that they would contact me if there was. No one contacted me.
On or about March 23, 2017 I called again to inquire about the status of the application. Again, I was told that they had the information and would get back to me within 24 to 48 hours. Again, no one contacted me. On April 4, 2017 I called once more and was told my application was declined because they didnt have enough information to verify my identity! They indicated that they tried to call me at my home number but there was no answer even though I explicitly told them to call me on my mobile number. I also checked my answering machine at home and there was no message left on it. After complaining to the representative I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that he/she was on the phone and would call me back. I am still waiting for that phone call!

I called the credit card company to let them know she was overseas and the countries she is in. So far her card has been declined multiple times because she is using it in the countries I notified she would be. Just two weeks ago I called to let them know she would be in Italy. Today her card was declined when she tried to purchase a tour bus ticket for 38 in Italy. It's not like she was trying to purchase electronics or something expensive. Nothing like having your 20 year old daughter in a foreign country and the credit card company declines the card.
We have learned that if a transaction is declined, don't try again thinking maybe the first time didn't read because if you do they deactivate the card. Same thing happened to me at Lord & Taylor a few weeks ago. I bought a few dresses at the same location, nothing outrageously expensive, on the same day and they considered it suspicious and declined my card in front of a line full of people. If you use this card, make sure you have a back up to a reliable credit card company.

In fact they had rejected a second charge to the same business because it looked suspicious. Chase told me to destroy my card and they would send a new one. This was on Friday morning. When the card hadn't arrived by Monday, I called. They told me it would arrive soon, they had sent it by regular mail. I was surprised. This had happened once before and they sent it by express mail. Still, I figured it would arrive the next day. When it didn't come on Tuesday or Wednesday, my wife called. She was told the card had been mailed out Monday by regular mail. Not only had they misled me by saying the card was mailed on Friday, but they didn't have the sense to mail it by express mail when I called and complained. I guess they hoped it would be delivered quickly. When it wasn't they were exposed.

They keep raising my minimum payment without advising me. Have automatic payment set up but they change the payments one to two days prior to payment due. So even if I pay them their minimum for example this last time they raised it by $4. I made the payment... It's automatic. But because they raise the minimum $4 and didn't have my permission to charge my bank they reported it to my credit for $4, and they reported my credit over an amount that I could easily paid if they would have advised me that they raise the minimum payment.
I'm finding that they are doing this each month so that they can require a service charge or a late payment charge when the payment has never been late because it automatically paid out of my account. They just increased the amount by a dollar or two and then they charge me a late payment over that dollar but this time they went too far and actually reported it to my credit over $4 when it was only 8 days past the payment date when I already paid them their minimum because they added the $4 one day prior to the payment due date. It's almost like this is a scam and I'm going to report them to the Better Business Bureau, and I'm also going to report them to the FCC. Don't even do a credit card with them. Stay away from them.

They will tell you they were able to reverse charges for the same fraudulent charge but you will again have to go thru the screening, even if they have confirmed before. Not only that be prepared to be asked if you returned the merchandise, even though you are calling for fraud. Wow amazing.

I recently took advantage of the $200 new checking account advertisement and opened a Chase checking account. While there the bank representative offered me the opportunity to do a balance transfer. I took him up on the offer since I had no reason to expect a denial. Needless to say, I was. The bank representative seemed surprised after I told him my credit score and so was I shrugging my shoulders when he told me it was denied. When I got the denial letter it stated it was because my credit report showed a bankruptcy so I called the Customer Representative to advise that I was only in bankruptcy for 2-3 months and I had it dismissed because the bankruptcy payments weren't much lower than my original payments. In addition, the bankruptcy would be taken off of my credit report in a few months.
The customer service representative had me on hold for several minutes coming back every so often to ask me questions. She asked why my balance was so high on the card I wanted to transfer from and I told her it was Christmas time but it was my intention to pay the balance off in the next 2-3 days. She came back and said the denial reason was being changed because I made too many fast purchases and didn't seem to care that I would be paying it off in the next couple of days. One of my credit unions transferred it with no issues and I will be doing at the most $1,000 per month of business with Chase this month compared to the $8,000 this month I had planned on doing.

On October 11th, I purchased a scooter from Blitz Moped in the amount of $3300. Neal ** of Blitz delivered the bike to me the evening of the 19th. As he removed the bike from his truck he mentioned it was making a noise when he test drove it. But since the bike had a 2 year warranty, to drive it and see if it would work itself out and to call him if it did not. He was not gone 20 minutes and I notice a cable dangling from below the bike. I snapped a photo and sent him a text asking him if this was supposed to be hanging like this. He never responded, so I pushed the cable up inside the bike with my hand hoping it went where it was supposed to go.
The same evening I notice the bike making a terrible rattling noise. I took a video and sent it to him and his reply was "get some electrical tape and tape it up to muffle the noise". I decided to call him the following day (Thursday, October 20th) and he begins insulting me and telling me to "just drive the damn thing 200-300 miles before I call him". He says that I am seeking perfection and I am not going to get perfection from a plastic scooter. The following Saturday, October 22nd, we contact Neal ** again and this time he begins to threaten us with saying that he is an ex-marine and does not take any "**" - we are in disbelief as to how we are being treated from a merchant who seemed so nice prior to the sale.
On Monday, October 24th, I decide to contact Chase and tell them what is transpiring with this merchant. Chase recommends that I have the bike delivered back to the merchant. October 27th, I contact a professional motorcycle towing company and pay them $185 to have my bike delivered back to Blitz so that Chase can apply a chargeback. The merchant, Neal **, went ballistic and threatened to slash the motorcycle towing company's tires who were hired to deliver back the bikes. The same day, I receive a scathing email from this merchant saying that he now has my bike and will be charging me $40 a day storage fees, plus additional fees and will not release the merchandise until it is picked up in person with all fees paid, and also threatens to put the bike in the city pound.
A professional business owner very well could have chosen to look at the bike now that he had it back in his possession, but instead decides to be bully and hold my bike for ransom after he received Chases back charges. After the merchant has his bike back, he continues to send me threatening emails. I continued to send Chase every email he had sent to keep them informed that he was holding the merchandise for ransom. At this point I did not care, since my money was refunded back to my card during the dispute. After Chase asks me to return the bike to the merchant - they then send me a letter informing me that they now need a 2nd opinion letter on the merchandise in order to continue the dispute. I explain to Chase that the merchant has chosen to be ugly and will not release the bike for a second opinion. I remind them that the bike was sent back because Chase asked me to send it back to the merchant.
Although, Chase was well aware that the merchant was not going to work with me; because I could not get a 2nd opinion letter for obvious reasons, Chase reverses the charges of $3300 back to my card!!! So now the merchant has my bike and I am out $3300 for merchandise I do not have. I am at a total loss and find it very difficult that Chase cannot see the position that they placed me in when they asked me to return the bike. They expect me to pay for something I do not even have. I refuse to pay for merchandise that I do not have. Someone at Chase made a big mistake and the consumer is left to deal with it. In summary, the bike was never registered in my name, I have no title, I don't even have a signed contract from this merchant. And Chase knows all this. I merely have a sales slip for my purchase in the amount of $3300.
After doing additional background research on this dealer, I learn he is a convicted felon. No surprise thereafter he threatened to slash the tires of the towing company. Chase Bank should have told me initially that a 2nd opinion letter was needed before they told me to return the bike. Not ask me for one after the bike left my possession. I feel that Chase either needs to refund my $3300, or they need to go and get my bike back from the merchant. They do not have the consumer's back. This is for certain.

I was given a Chase bank (AMAZON) card through the chase bank. I would purchase books, gave an extra card to my twins to use for coffee, and books, then I paid it completely. They even sent me a 14.95 cents in the mail that was some extra amount of dollars. I called the 1888-247-4080, and was told that this card is not under my social security number. It does not show that I have owned this card at all. What does that mean? Was an identity theft involved? Did somebody order this card for me? It was through my chase bank account, I don't understand, and I am kind of nervous about the security involved in this? Not sure what to do? She asked me to take it to the nearest Chase bank and they will investigate.

Let me disabuse anyone of the illusion that the Chase Sapphire Reserve card is worth getting. If you have American Express card like I do also, keep it and don't cross over. The benefits ARE NOT worth the headache customer service will at some point cause you. Empathy has to be one of the most effective steps to conflict resolution. Agree? A step I learned that Chase Sapphire Reserve customer servicing reps seriously lack considering the $450 one pays. Even up to their executive office which sends a clear picture, they have a good vision but improper execution and the wrong people in place.
I had an issue with a merchant booked through Chase travel service. I reached out for guidance and was basically patronized by an argumentative rep and left to feel like I own a card with servicing reps who are bold to inform you they do not care about your concerns, and they are only concerned about business with the merchant. That's a problem. Empathy doesn't require sides and it doesn't say you necessarily agree with the card member but it doesn't make a card member feel non-valued. Who wants to pay for something and feel like they are not of value. The experience was as if I wasn't even a customer. I was hung up on by a rep who said I wasn't being professional because I addressed her behavior and the way she was handling the call. I didn't even use profanity. The executive team reviewed the call and had the gall to say there was no coaching opportunity for their rep, who patronized me and failed to empathize at least and that it was me.
Obviously card members are not always calling in overjoyed. Many times it's because of a problem and it is the expectation that the servicing "professional" would handle your concern with care and work to de-escalate instead of acting like you're the one on the clock. That was the final draw for me that none of them get it. When I reached out to the executive team, I told them that my main concern was the lack of empathy however the exec rep came back with the same messaging the rep did and patronized me also. Was even a bit demeaning. I assure you, after doing business for over 10 years with American Express, getting any Chase product and having to deal with their customer service is not worth it.

I have had a chase Marriott reward card for about 3 yrs and it was time to receive my new card and was sent a new card in the mail.

This was the only way to get the points after having the card for 24 months. So I closed my account and then reapplied online, feeling there would be no issue since my credit score with the card was showing a excellent credit score.
After 3 weeks I called Chase and asked about my renewal card and I was told that it was denied because I had a balance. I was never told that it had to be paid off or that could have been accomplished before now or I could have just kept the renewal card. Now they want me to reapply, but that hurts my credit for them to continuously run my credit. So I told them that I will close my other account also, since I was given false info and I will just stay my other cards and not use them again.

Recently I applied for a new credit card with three Banks. Chase, US Bank, and Barclays Bank. Credit cards were approved and delivered from US Bank and Barclays Bank but denied by Chase. Reason was given "too many credit cards opened in last two years". I called Chase and spoke to Alisa in new account at 888 609 7805 and then to Allen in Resolution dept at 800 453 9719. Note that all banks use same credit report. I have good history with Chase Bank in the past. I have also cancelled 12 credit cards in last year. I mentioned these two facts to Chase but they still denied. They refused to look at the facts I had provided them.
Both Alisa and Allen refused to send me in writing that they have declined in spite of the facts that I mentioned to them. They kept insisting on the computer's decision and ignoring how other two banks handled my application with same credit report. I consider Chase to be biased and not doing their job properly and professionally. I would advise everyone who reads this message not to deal with Chase.

I did mention to close the dispute to end my unpleasant conversation! I called back soon after. Was told everything was fine. The case was decided in my favor!
According to this Chase supervisor (Possible but not likely!). She mentioned that Chase does not update disputes for the status of customers! You will never know how your dispute will resolve unless Chase contacts you whenever they choose! I still will use my Amazon Chase credit card only for Amazon purchases (I will try to refrain from my regular shopping on Amazon). I am still deciding on another credit card offer to appear in my mail for usage. Chase reflects terrible customer service and aggravation! Bigger is not always better does not reflect the true reputation of credit card company and bank as Chase!

I was very happy using the Chase Sapphire Reserve Visa card until I used it to pay off my hotel bill overseas, in Abu Dhabi. I was shocked at the exchange rate Chase used to convert AED to USD. They used a rate that was preposterous. At normal prevailing exchange rates AED 1,000 would convert to USD 272.48 @ 3.67. Chase is converting AED 1,000 to USD 333.33.
Spoke to the supervisor, Stacy, on their toll-free number and she claimed they are using the NY exchange rates. She didn't say it in words but it was inferred that I could cancel the card if I was unhappy with their exchange rates. Exactly what I am going to do as soon as I get state-side. So, for all the perks they are offering Visa cardholders are being gouged in the exchange rate. Have not had this problem with other Visa and Mastercards that I hold and use wherever I travel. My warning to Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders is to be watchful about their dishonesty.

I purchased cruise tickets using my Chase card because of the built in travel insurance. After we boarded the ship, we discovered that the itinerary had been changed. Instead of traveling to the Bahamas, the ship was going to Haiti, to which I did not want to go. I called Chase and asked whether I could cancel the trip and get reimbursed for the cost of the cruise using the Chase travel insurance. The Chase representative said yes, so I left the ship.
When I filed a travel insurance claim, it was denied. The reason it was denied was because the cruise line offered me "something of value", so they don't have to pay the claim. Only if the cruise was canceled would the travel insurance pay. Since Chase told me they would pay before I canceled, and I took action on their information, I believe they are obligated to make some sort of payment. This isn't right.

I recently got offered a Chase Freedom Unlimited card and thought there were plenty of perks with having a card that had a 0% introductory rate for 15-months. I wanted to take advantage of the 0% APR balance transfer on the card and use it to pay a balance on my Discovery card. I called Chase's Credit Card Dept on December 02, 2016 to process the balance - giving them my Discover Credit Card number and security code. I was told balance transfers take approximately 5-8 business days to process and that it would be done by wire. I honestly thought had a great experience with the customer support rep however, that was when my nightmare began.
On Dec 11, I called Chase to inquire about my account balance. I had been monitoring my account for several days and the balance had continued to show as pending. I got ahold of a Credit Card Customer Rep to ask about the pending status. She told me that I had to confirm security again in order fully process and send out the payment, which will post take another 2-3 days to post. I wasn't aware that I had to confirm security again, as the first rep from Dec 2nd had told me that the process had already been completed. However, I was told that because the card was new, I had to confirm security again in order to process the payment. So I did what the lady told me and I continued to monitor my account.
Today on December 12, I found out the balance transfer had posted on my Chase account but I could not see the amount being credited to my Discover card account. I made a call to Discover to confirm the payment however I was told nothing arrived in the account. I called Chase to follow up and I got a gentleman who told me that balance transfers usually post on the same day. When I explained to him my situation, he did some checking and told me the bank had sent out a check that would take 18-21 days to reach Discover. I told him that I wasn't aware that it would be mailed out as a check and that the rep on Dec 2 had told me that it would be by wire. The guy told me that as he was not the one to take my call then, he didn't know what was said. He told me to just wait as it was being sent out by check.
By this time, I was getting a little frustrated as I felt I was being told different information by several different people of the same company (CHASE). I did the balance transfer because I had hoped that it would reach my Discover account prior to my payment due date. I then decided to call Discover again just to inquire about the usual time it takes for checks to arrive as well as to inquire about the payment methods usually associated with balance transfers (wire vs checks).
After getting off the phone with Discover, I wanted to analyze my Chase account again because I had a nagging feeling that something had gone wrong. I even took out my Discover card to compare the card number with the statement on my Chase account to make sure the balance transfer had been done correctly. I noticed there was a discrepancy in one number in the statement so I called Chase again. I got ahold of a man with an Indian accent and I asked him to confirm the Discover card account number that I had given them. Apparently, they had made the check out to the wrong card number and for them to reverse this process, the check had to reach Discover (18-21 days) and then re-mailed back to Chase (18-21 days) in order for them to reprocess my transfer.
I asked him to help me cancel the check because I did not want Discover to accidentally process it for someone else but he said he couldn't do it. He also added that usually when "customers" gave them the wrong information they have to wait it out for the check to bounce back from the secondary company before they can re-process it.
By this time I was angry and extremely frustrated because during this entire process I had spoken to 4 Chase Representatives and none of them could help and neither did they find out about the mistake until I pointed it out to them. They also did not step up to take responsibility or apologize for the troubles it had caused me. I ended up having to call Discover a 3rd time tonight as well to clear up the situation. A lady in the Billings Department was kind enough to listen to my story and she even made a note in her system to monitor for that incoming balance check and seeing if they can process that check and have it credit to my account.
This whole fiasco caused me to spend over 1.5 hours on the phone calling back and forth between two financial institutions and at the end of the night it was Discover that ended up reassuring me that my money was gonna get to them safely. The Chase representatives were neither reassuring nor helpful. It was more of them shirking off the responsibility of taking care of my issue because they weren't the one to process it in the beginning. I have been a Chase customer for more than 5 years now and this experience really makes me want to reevaluate switching banks and putting my savings in an institution that values their customers.

Got so bad I left the bank, they had a breach of security that affected my account and info so that was all I needed to hear. Now my Chase Freedom card has become a real pain. The online system and the 800 number call center people would not update my email proper account, I'd input/request it and the following month I wouldn't get statement notifications or reminders, only to learn that their 'dual system' would default my emails to my previous work email (which I lost access to when I changed employment).

She removed all the late fees, assured me I would not have issues with my FICO, it would not show up as derogatory.
Then I refi my mortgage and sure enough it shows up as a 30 day late on my credit report and I take a 100 point hit in my credit score. Chase Freedom is a joke of a card. Get a Discover or any other card but this one. I have never had these issues, have perfect credit, mortgage, car note, etc... always pay on-time and thanks to a system glitch on Chase's end and a dishonest call center rep, they denied to remove the late payment on my credit report. They lied to me, treated me like I was being dishonest even though they record all calls (which I asked them to review). Chase is a typical big bank and their credit card division is no better.

When I went to the United Airlines site the tickets were only $1,400 each and there were a lot more options. When I asked Chase how they could mark up tickets by $1,900 each they said that they have no control over ticket prices. The moral of the story is that the Rapid Rewards program is not cost competitive on air travel and what we are all being sold is a bunch of baloney.

"I'd like to pay off both accounts in full with you right now." She was not able to do this, or to even give me the pay off totals.
How can a bank not be able to tell you how much your total balance is to be able to pay in full?!? Her response was to wait until the end of the billing cycle, the end of the month, in which time, I would be adding 3 more weeks of interest charges to an amount she could not even put a figure to. Very frustrated and disappointed. Will never use this bank again for anything.

My balance should be zero, but they have not sent through the payment that was made three days ago.

I reached out Chase customer service regarding my debit card wrong payment issue. When I called customer service I want them to stop the transaction and dispute the payment. Actually the transaction is still on pending status. Customer service desk told me they can't do any dispute the payment but they need to get merchant's approval first. They told me to call the merchant tomorrow to get the approval. Lol. Chase Bank Card Service doesn't care about card holder's needs at all. Also they are unprofessional at all. I address the issue to them on time. However they do not want to fix it on time.
Chase can't provide good service to customer at all. I can't understand how come Chase become top 4 bank? Hmm. Maybe only focus on marketing strategy. For top 4 banks, I like Bank of America and Citibank the most. Bank of America provides very secure online banking and customer service. Chase is far far away from good bank at all. Chase Bank customer accounts got hacked in 2014. I do want to close my account with Chase soon. Bye bye Chase!

I'm in the process of closing my Chase Slate Visa Credit Card but for some unknown reason the Chase Slate Visa people are giving me the runaround. These Chase Slate Visa people have been trying to intimidate me by telling me that some supervisor is supposed to call me on my cellphone letting me know that my credit card has been closed.

I've had the Chase Amazon awards card for several years for nearly all of my purchases, but I've decided to stop using it. For quite some time, I've noticed that there's this weird issue with the total balance on the card. I would pay off the card every time I got paid (every two weeks), but the total balance always seemed much higher than it should be. I'd add up all posted, completed transactions since I had last paid off the card, and the total balance would ALWAYS be $100-$200 dollars higher than the amount I'd get from adding up all posted, completed transactions after I had last paid it off. This was a consistent problem I'd observe every time I'd pay off the card's balance. I remember calling them about this, and they pretty much told me (in the nicest way possible) that I'm a moron that doesn't understand basic arithmetic, and that it had to do with "pending transactions" that haven't posted yet.
I'd always carefully review all transactions posted to my account and there was never anything there that I didn't recognize. Even if it did have something to do with pending transactions, there's no way the total balance could be as high as I've seen it on my card. And now I see other reviews on Consumer Affairs where other people have had issues with the total balance not being calculated correctly or the balance not reducing even though payments are being made regularly. I have never had this issue with any other card I've had with other banks. At this point, I'm fairly certain that I was just getting fleeced. I will never use any kind of Chase product again.

I've been using the Chase Freedom credit card since 2012 and thinking that I was saving 5% each quarter using my card and earning rewards. All my credit cards are linked to my mint.com account and just this month mint.com sent me an email saying that there is a finance charge on this card, and offering me another card to save finance charges.
After investigating, I've found out that I've been charged $246.97 since December, 2012. I thought that the account is set up with automatic payment to pay in full. When I called Chase they told me that I "enabled the Blueprint feature" and therefore my full payments are made only to certain purchase leaving the rest with finance charges. Chase didn't even offer me to void any of these charges, which makes me believe that this is a deliberate and planned scam by the bank to steal money from people like me, people who set up automatic payments and thinking that the balance is paid in full every month.

Now, over 2 MONTHS LATER (it's October 7 today), still no refunded points. On my last call today, I got transferred three times (card services - ultimate rewards travel - some specialist?) and all the last guy could do was "send an email" to the "accounting department." And apparently in 7-10 days, someone in Chase "might know" if the funds can be transferred back to me. That was 30 minutes of my time today.
Yesterday I called about the same issue, except I waited on the last transfer for over an hour (my phone logged the call as 79 minutes total) and then the call was dropped.

We had a nightmare experience with VRBO. The owner evicted our party. We are 2 moms with 2 kids in town for a sporting event. He evicted us two nights early based on lies and false accusations. He sent erratic and threatening emails. One accusation was that we hit the garage door. We even sent pictures showing a pristine garage door. The owner had previous ordinance violations with the city, so it's obvious that the neighbors aren't happy with a vacation rental on their street.
VRBO took pity on us and put us in a hotel. When we went to gather our belongings, the owner deliberately locked us out via the remote access. After several hours of brainstorming with the Ventura Police Department, the owner's wife eventually let us in, with the demand that we never tell her husband that she helped us. Among all the other accusations, the owner is now accusing us of breaking in to get our belongings. As we stood outside looking at our property through the windows, he told VRBO he boxed up our belongings and mailed them.
We disputed the charge with Chase Visa Southwest credit card. I was tempted to ask for all the rent back because of the nightmare he put us through. We suffered fear and anxiety. On several occasions, he said he was calling the police on us. This freaked the kids out and they performed badly at the sporting event due to anxiety and lack of sleep. All we asked Visa for was our $1500.00 deposit and the money for the nights post-eviction. The owner challenged it. And Visa concluded he can keep the money. ALL the money. Our $1500.00 deposit AND the money for nights that we were unable to stay because of the eviction. We sent all the supporting documentation to Visa and I am baffled by the decision.
The best I could tell is that Chase has concluded the owner gets to keep all the money because we had two kids over for 1.5 hours, even though one rental agreement says the maximum is THREE people per bedroom. Another rental agreement delineates no more than 8 for "day use." And somehow Chase concluded we violated the contract. The two kids were gone by 9:00 and CHASE concludes that we violated the rental agreement, and reversed the decision. Now, I am paying over $2000.00 for a nightmare. I am disgusted by this decision. How can they justify letting the owner keep a damage deposit when there was no damage? I am disgusted by Chase Visa.

Each agent was completely confused, zero follow up and canned answers. They are completely incompetent.

They always rule in favor of the merchant and not protect their own card holder. This card is a Zero in comparison to American Express.
Consumer Affairs should investigate why they are so incompetent when reviewing facts of a dispute and why they cannot get their team straight on who answers calls, and takes notes properly etc. They are clueless as to what has been submitted and do not read the notes if there are any. They tell you to mail or fax in the information... yet, you don't know if they received it. Also, I was given an email by the Mumbai India agent and Chase USA knew nothing about it and they never received all of the information that I sent through the email.

I recently paid off my Chase Sapphire credit card by paying the entire balance displayed on my statement. Imagine my surprise to receive a bill the following month for interest (under $11). Now, I'm not stupid. I know how this works. The interest was legitimate. But I thought it was worth a call to customer service to see if they would forgive this in light of my outstanding history in the proper use of the credit they granted.
Nope. Chase would not budge. Even going up two tiers of escalation resulted in nothing. I asked each representative point blank if they were willing to lose a long term customer of good standing over $10.33. Response: "I'm not allowed to change that charge." My conclusion is that Chase does not empower their customer service personnel to retain valued customers. My solution is to close that account. I have much better options for credit at much more favorable rates from other institutions.
My purpose here is to warn other consumers of the unnecessary greedy practices of Chase. If this is how they treat a long-term honest customer, then it begs the question: How will Chase treat you and what stack of charges will appear on your bill if - heaven forbid - you are even one day late with a payment?

I am currently involved in a dispute with CHASE CREDIT CARD. To start from the beginning, I was a victim of a scam where someone under the company name of ICN Trust Finance AG was looking to hire me as a Project Executive. After about 2 to 3 weeks of "casework" and "interviews" I was signed on. My first project was to buy computers for their leasing company, and I was guided through a banking funds transfer scenario that they would use to "reimburse me." They listed several banks as holders of corporate accounts for ICN, and these funds would be used to reimburse me for my purchases per their recommendation. Believing that this was a legitimate project at the time, I went ahead and bought the computers using my Chase credit card. Two separate purchases were made before the scam was detected. The first payment involved Chase to Chase accounts.
Unfortunately, this was where things went awry with Chase bank. In order to protect my finances, I called Chase bank twice, once after each of my two purchases. Before sending out the computers, I wanted to know if my reimbursement was sound. I spoke with a Chase agent and shared my story: I was recently hired by an employer, and they gave me bank account information to reimburse me for purchases that I made. I shared that the account information was not mine and possibly my employers. In addition, I asked if there was a possibility of a scam, and if Chase could contact the other Chase account holder to verify the legitimacy of the transfer (as a large sum was being transferred between accounts).
In the end, Chase verified that everything looked good during both transactions, all to be legal, legitimate and approved (recorded phone conversation by Chase). In fact, both Chase agents denied my request that they call the other account holder to verify the legitimacy of the transfer. After gaining this sense of security with Chase, I went ahead and shipped the computers to the "company" overseas.
Unfortunately, it turned out that I was scammed. ICN (a legitimate company based in Swiss) had its information stolen, and it was then used as a front for scammers looking to steal money out of stolen bank accounts. The "corporate accounts" were possibly stolen bank accounts, and although the money was likely returned to the owners, I am now charged approximately $14k in credit card bills by Chase that could have been avoided by their intervention in the first place.
Although Chase bank knows that I have been scammed, they have been very callous in their communications with me. In fact, they have closed my credit card account, have threatened further action should I not pay them (including collection agencies, mounting interest rate, etc. which would affect my credit report) and have gone so far as to accuse me over the phone of money laundering. All of this, even after I have given them screenshots of e-mails, referenced the pending police report on the matter, and sent them a timeline detailing the events of the scam.
In addition, I have no criminal history, my credit score is 830 out of 850 and 811 out of 830, and I have had no late payment history. It is upsetting to be treated coldly by Chase in light of these circumstances. I paid in full, on time, all my obligation (as they stated) under protest to keep my credit scores intact while this is on going. As you can see, I am very wary of Chase's system that has allowed a breach of bank accounts being stolen. As I was given a stolen bank account in the first place, I fear there may not be proper security measures in place that would prevent Chase customers' banking information from leaking into the wrong hands.
In addition, Chase agents did not protect me or the other account holder from these transactions, although I had called them twice on each occasion to express my concerns. I finally decide to file a Civil Law Suit (State of Oregon, Washington County Municipal Court) since many attorneys feel that the $ amount of potential possible recovery is not worth their effort to pursue.
CHASE chose not to respond and the court have decided against and put a lien on CHASE CREDIT CARD Co. and reward me with maximum total civil law suit of $10,000+ (allowable + my cost of filing). During the process of the dispute, CHASE EXECUTIVE OFFICE assigned 4 Case#'s, written in official letters I received. Few minutes ago, I just called them at the number that was/were listed in their letter to contact. Surprisingly, 3 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS stated that they have no such references in their database (conversation is recorded also in my Smartphone). They could not locate even 1 of the 4, though I told them that I was looking at their official letters with the case numbers listed.
As if they disappear into the thin air, they also told me that it is not their norm to delete any case, but the facts they suddenly disappeared and no link could be found from my infos, smell very fishy here. Are they playing game with our judicial system here? Fortunately, I still have all the documents and my civil law suit stated one of those number as a reference. Apparently, their system was hacked in 2014 (hence, probably my scam), but they denied any security issue is in jeopardy... At the same time, how can the scammer stole an account number to reimburse me with.
Another issue; I spoke to more than 5 agents initially with the fund payments/transfers/reimbursements and clearly mentioned "if it is any possible scam in progress," they clearly (recorded) stated that payment from both accounts I was provided with, are both legitimate, and so did the transactions. My position at that time is very odd; since these transactions were assumed legal approved by Chase agents; if I did not send the computers, they can accuse me of theft/scamming since these transactions were approved, legitimately legal and reflected clearly in my credit card account statement at the time.
I question their policy of online transaction and approval processes. Few weeks later they reversed those payments and held me responsible of the charges. All and all; lost/disappear case#'s, ignoring legal court order, and keep disconnecting our phone conversations, I feel, surely are arrogant moves by their agents dealing with my issues. In the meantime, the court has put a lien against CHASE CREDIT CARD, in my case.

We Sat down with the banker and explained to him exactly what we were looking for (0% Intro Apr for 15months) and we told him that we were thinking about applying for Chase Freedom Unlimited. The Banker acknowledged what we said and started talking about a "Special Promotion" Chase was having regarding the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card and told us that on top of the 0% Apr we would also get $625 in travel rewards if we spent at least $4,000 in the first 3-months. He insisted and recommended that Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card will be our best option.
After considering what the banker told us, we were pretty excited about the special promotion and we his advice and applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred. We trusted his words/sales pitch and believed that the card had 0% intro Apr for 15-months. The only reason we agreed to get the Sapphire Preferred over the Chase Freedom Unlimited was because a chase banker, whose job duties include truthfully guiding customers and providing honest and accurate information about Chase's products, misled us. After we received the Chase Sapphire Card, we went ahead and started using it for housing costs (new flooring/paint etc) along with some daily costs.
Fast-Forwarding to Saturday, June 25th, 2016 -- I was looking over the Credit Card Statement and noticed that there was a "Finance Charge" of $222.13. So I called the credit card department thinking it was just a mistake -- but unfortunately, a chase representative on the phone told me that the Chase Sapphire Preferred does not have 0% Intro Apr for 15 months! I was shocked to hear this!
So I explained to the representative on the phone that we were told by a Chase Banker that Chase was having a "Special Promotion" regarding the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card that included a 0% Intro Apr for 15 months. And the representative on the phone said "You need to go back to the bank branch where you applied for the card and talk to them because they may have been running an internal promotion of some sort."
So on Monday June 27th, 2016 I went to the bank branch at 9 am to speak with that particular banker in person about this issue and I came to find out that he had quit his job and is no longer with Chase. So I explained the situation to another Chase Banker at this branch -- and she said she will talk to the store manager once he gets into work and call me back with a solution.
Later that day, I get a call from her and she tells me that the manager said they can't do anything about it because the banker who misled us no longer works there. She advised that I call back Chase Credit Card Department and see if they can do anything to help me. I was again shocked and disappointed to hear this response from her, and I was even more disappointed that the Store Manager did not have the decency to call me personally and talk to me. There was no sense of willingness to help a Chase Customer and that was truly disappointing.
Next, I contacted The Chase Escalation Department. And they told me that I need to talk to the Branch Manager and have him write them a letter that states "It was a bank error." Once the escalation department gets this letter, they will go ahead and resolve this issue. So I went back to the Chase Bank Branch, and this time I told the Chase Banker that I need to speak with the Manager face to face about this matter, so she went into the Manager's office and told him about my situation and he came out and told me to go in his office.
Once we went into the Manager's Office, I told the Manager exactly what happened (again) and then told him what needed to be done next in order to resolve this issue. And shockingly, he was very blunt about the situation and kept saying things like that banker does not work here anymore so I cannot do anything about it and I am not going to write any letter because I can't take responsibility for the banker's error. And the most surprising statement from the Manager was you need to find another bank and balance transfer to their credit card.
I was again very disappointed by the Manager's attitude towards this whole situation and his unwillingness to take ownership of this issue. I explained to him again that the only reason we agreed to get the Sapphire Preferred over the Chase Freedom Unlimited was because a chase banker told us that the card had 0% Intro Apr for 15 months. And the fact that a Chase Bank Branch Manager tells a current Chase Customer to find another bank and his attitude has been so blunt and unwilling to help has led to a truly discouraging and a frustrating experience dealing with Chase.
So on July 14th, 2016 I wrote a letter to the Chase Executive Office, explaining what was going on and hoping that by reaching out to them, appropriate actions will be taken in order to finally resolve this issue. But unfortunately, after 2 weeks the lady that handled our case told me that she tried to contact the branch manager for details and to verify that it was a bank error. but she could never reach him. (Really???) What kind of bank is this that an Executive Office Agent is not able to reach or get a response back from a local branch manager?? I was again shocked and disappointed. Then she said after doing an investigation there is nothing they could do because she concluded that it was not a bank error because we had received their terms and conditions with the card in the mail.
After receiving this news from her, I tried to talk to her again to see if there is anything they can do to help me out with this horrible financial situation that has destroyed our financial freedom and she told me that I need to apply for another credit card from another bank do a balance transfer. Then I explained to her that before I applied for the Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card, my credit score was 798* (Excellent) but since that time, I have applied for a Home Depot Card, and of course we have maxed out our Chase Sapphire Card (as we were planning to do) and all this has resulted in dropping my score to 690* for the time being. And with a score this low, I explained to her that I probably won't qualify for a high credit limit. But she basically said "sorry I can't help you."
So I went ahead and applied for the Discover Credit Card as they were offering me 0% Intro Apr for 12 months with 0% Balance Transfer Fee but as expected, I only qualified for 27% of the amount I owe on the Chase Sapphire Card. So now I am stuck with a high-interest rate Chase Sapphire Credit Card with a high balance on it, my credit score has gone down from Excellent (798*) to Fair (688*), and I do not know what to do. We were lied to by a Chase Banker. We were scammed into getting this card.

With over a 750 Credit score by the Chase's own FICO score, no late payments in 10-years, and an overall good credit history the best Chase can offer is 18.5% on the credit card and 25% on cash. That crook of a CEO is betting on their clients defaulting and have intentionally decided to rape their clients and the economy of their income so as to pad their own wealth. With federal rates at rock bottom Chase still thinks that high interest rates on debt is the solution; betting against the people. Suggest you bet against Chase and go to a legitimate lender.

I will try to make this as short as possible. For the year that I have had my Chase credit cards, I have always paid them on time, and when the balance got high, I paid them off entirely MULTIPLE times. A few months ago, I got hit hard with fraud and identity theft. It sucked. Chase ensured me that the fraud was taken care of and protected and that I wouldn't be held liable for it. Last week, when it came time for to pay my bill, I noticed my balance was WAY higher than it should have been (I had just paid it off in its entirety the month prior). I looked at the activity and saw that they had -- without any notification -- reversed all of the fraudulent charges. So not only did I have these fraud issues, but now they had without telling me decided that they feel like I should have to pay for these. Unreal.
I call and call and call trying to get through to a person named Nicole who had called and left a message with me -- presumably to explain this, and tell me why on earth I am paying for things I never even did. She never answered a single one of my calls. Then today, someone else calls me. FINALLY. I call back, ready to straighten this out, only for her to say essentially that it's not her problem, not her department and that Chase has now chosen to shut down my cards completely. EXCUSE ME?! AFTER I finally get my identity fraud figured out and have two months of non-issues, and paying off my account, THIS is when they decide to shut it down? AND they are trying to make me pay for the fraud??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Never have I ever been so mad, felt so much injustice and had so many issues from any company. I despise people who could feel okay doing to this to other people. I legitimately have only ever used my card, reported fraud when it did happen, and pay my card off (on-time and often completely), and my repayment is this? Disgusting. Ultimately they addressed this essentially by saying: "this is how it is, because we said so." There is no valid reasoning, and nothing to show that the charges aren't fraudulent (because they ARE FRAUDULENT), just Chase deciding not to honor their policy. Your policy that actually states: "Just as with any card, if someone steals your credit card number but you still have the card, Chase must refund all fraudulent charges, but only if you file a report within 60 days."
They did, I did, and Chase didn't. They shared absolutely nothing to show that it wasn't fraud (because -- and I can't stress this enough -- it WAS fraud) and yet won't honor their own words and policies. I realize this doesn't affect their lives and that's why they don't care -- but this is my life and this fraud that you refuse to take care of has huge negative implications, including my potential inability to pay rent if I have to pay these charges that I never made. They shouldn't get away with this. That is unacceptable, and they know it. They just don't care, because it lines their pockets and greases their palms just a little less. And by the way, the guy who "responded" to me, couldn't have possibly been more of a condescending prick.

One of the "benefits" of having a Chase Amazon Visa credit card is the rental car reimbursement of your deductible if you are in an accident with your rental car, and if you use the card for your deposit on the rental car. Unfortunately if you exceed 31 days of renting the car, they will not reimburse your deductible. I don't understand because one thing has nothing to do with the other. My car insurance company pays for the rental car, and I pay the difference of going over the 31 days. My personal car was almost totaled and took a long time to repair. Apparently to take advantage of this "benefit" I would have had to of had two rental agreements. I guess I should have read the fine print and not have been so naive that Chase would take care of their customers.

On July 12th, I went into my local branch to get info on the Chase Slate card. Additionally, sign up to see what I qualified for because I wanted to transfer a balance. I thought this was a great deal because it was no APR% for the first 15 months and no balance transfer fee. It also would be a lower APR% than my other credit card. I the branch officer my after tax annual wage so-called her back that day to correct this. We did a conference call with the balance transfer department and I qualified for the max credit limit. I told him that I only wanted the credit limit at what would transfer my whole balance over. He said the amount I chose (I told the amount I would prefer) would be enough.
I get my card on Friday to ask for the transfer to be completed only to find out that my credit limit was not high enough to transfer the whole amount over. Not only this but the branch officer I sat down with put in the wrong amount initially (not even the whole amount). The customer service person I spoke with on Friday said they had to include the 5% balance transfer on 95% of the balance even though the card does not have one. No one explained this to me once. I ended up spending 2 hours on the phone getting this straightened out. The branch officer told me she would not know about the 5% that needs to be added in, she only signs people up and they have a whole department that does the balance transfer so why would she need to know this. Really!? Why wouldn't you know everything about your companies cards you sign people up on? If you are starting the balance transfer application shouldn't you know?
After all that I thought I was good to go but I get a call from Chase security today and they said they had been trying to contact me to verify the activity but since they were unable to contact me they canceled my balance transfer. They text me once. I ignored this as I got the text the next day. It seemed weird to me, maybe a scam since no one I spoke to on Friday told me that someone would be calling to verify this balance transfer before it could be approved.
After an hour on the phone trying to work something out with them to accommodate me for their mistakes they said all they could do was resubmit my balance transfer request. I explained I have my other credit card due today and due to their mistakes I'm being penalized. I asked if they could expedite the request or waive my late fee but nope, nothing. I resubmitted my request since the card has already been opened and in my possession but I tell you what, I will never do business with Chase again or will I ever refer someone to them.

I just hang off phone with Chase customer service. Its not right with the treat for consumers like this case. I felt and said them that this would like a hiding trap for consumers. I got many mails delivery for 0% APR. So just got approved for a 0% APR transfer balance till May 20017 in June 2016. My statement it closed on the 16th of each month. The due day pay on 13th monthly. So the balance of the purchases in June was $282.32 amount, plus the transfer balance amount with transfer fee on 0% APR promotion till 2017. The minimum payment is $28. So I made amount payment was $400.00 on July 5th. This would pay off for the $282.00 purchases balance amount, then the rest would go for promotion balance included transfer fee. But I got the statement of July 16th. Detailed they costed me $2.36 interest charged on.
Although this is not big deal to pay, but its not even fair to cost me interest like this. I called them. The first respond I got she said that because of I didn't pay off amount on the statement. I spoke back to her "what about $400 I paid for $282.00 amount of the purchases. Didn't it off?" The second Explaining that I had $160 amount on too. I respond that amount of the statement would be closed on July 16th, so my payment was July 5th for the statement due day on July 13th. I questioned why I have to pay interest charges on it. The third explaining truly bothered me - that she said the $400 amount I paid $93 went to the promotion balance. I said "alright. I think so, But over $300 left on that payment amount still over the amount of $282 purchases."
I keep questioned the same why, then final explaining I got that She said the other $50 went for the $50 transfer fee on the promotion balance amount so $93+$50, then the went rest for the purchases balance. It wasn't enough to pay off. Well This is pretty my great lesson for me to learn. I truly counted carefully of every my spending, because I didn't make big income to spend for interest payment at all. I don't want to fall into a deep debt hole, But I was still trapped to this problem. I have been with many companies, But I had never trapped like this case. Please consumers to be carefully.

When you have a promotion... Spell out the terms clearly. Note the time the promotion ends. Nowhere on the coupon did it say it would end at 12 noon and was only good for amazon goods bought directly from Amazon only (provided and delivered by Amazon... Their own stock).

A few days later Chase Visa nevertheless accepted the charges despite our repeated warnings and notifications that the charges were not legitimate. Countless phone calls and correspondences over the past 14 months have failed to resolve the issue. Chase continues to insist that we pay for their mistake. In good faith we have made minimum payments to keep the account in good standing as we attempted to work with Chase to resolve this error.
As a result, the potential cost has now grown to about $9000. Incredibly, various "supervisors" and "managers" at Chase have told us it is not Chase's responsibility to monitor the business practices of the various vendors who attempt to charge our card. Apparently, anything goes, and anyone can place any charge, legitimate or otherwise, on a Chase Visa, and Chase will compel the cardholder to pay up. In other words, Chase subjects its cardholders to unknown and unknowable risks, despite any and all reasonable steps the cardholder may take to protect Chase from fraudulent or otherwise illegitimate charges.

Chase allows a fraudulent or closed account to be put in as a (pay from) account. They know this is used by scammers. The online account will show the payment being made from a fraudulent account and the customer will rely on that information to make another purchase. A bank requires an unknown check to clear before those funds are available to the customer but Chase credit card shows the funds available in the credit card account so the customer thinks the funds are available. They call this their honor system and even allow it on a brand new account entered. They knowingly let this fraud happen and then hold the customer accountable. American Express has much better fraud protection. I know people that will never use Chase again.

My first transactions included 2 balance transfers, which I clearly understood was not going towards the $500 in purchases that I needed to get the $150 in cash back. The following transactions that were made were all eligible purchases and equaled beyond the $500 needed. Chase policy stated it takes about 8 weeks for the credit to be applied to my account. I waited and then I realized I never received my credit for the $150.
I called customer service and explained about the promotions that were available to me when I opened the account and he proceed to tell me there wasn't any promotions on my account. The $150 cash back was the reason for me wanting to open this credit card in particular and not go with other offers from other banks.

I have been a Visa card holder for almost 15 years. Never been late with a payment and always paid more than minimum due. In mid April I paid the card off. Over $8,500. The account has been 0 since. Yesterday, they charged me what they call residual interest of $37. When I called to ask them to waive it, I spoke to two different reps who were both very unprofessional and told me they would not do it. When I then said to cancel the card, they just said "ok". I paid off three other credit cards and they all waived any fees that were charged after I paid them off. I tried to cancel 1 other card with Amex and they practically begged me not cancel the card. Chase does absolutely NOTHING for their customers.

I am truly disappointed in Chase Visa, customer service, client service and their entire card service dispute department. I spent endless hours dealing with their team and was truly amazed by their lack of follow-up, customer protection and communication. I disputed a charge in December - returned the item and was then charged by Visa again, because they refunded the person their money in error. Without contacting me first. After leaving 3 calls for Mrs. **, I was told by someone else that they can no longer get in touch with the company and they cannot help me get the refund. I have to contact Hoverboard on my own.
Why would I want to partner with such incompetence. I closed my card immediately. I would choose a bank that would support their customers. This was the only dispute I have ever made. My husband and I have multiple account with Chase and we have discussed closing them all! This was such a surprise to me, but certainly an eye opener. I now have to chase Hoverboard 360 (which is an entirely different issue and a company never to work with).

I have never had such a miserable experience with a credit card. I had set up an auto payment through Chase drawn on my Huntington Account. Recently I lost my Huntington debit card. Unbeknownst to me, reporting it lost put a stop payment on all autopayments such as these. I received a notice from Chase that payment had been refused on the 11th. I called them within 24 hours, explained the situation and asked to make the payment and reestablish the auto payment. I was informed that I already had incurred a late payment! Since I had already had one reprieve for an equally honest mistake over a year ago, I was told they could not give me another.
I try to pay my cards off as fast as possible and NEVER accrue interest. My FICO is in the 780s and my net worth is over 6 figures. Dealing with these greedy SOBs has not been worth the 0% they gave me on a measly 5K credit line (after indicating they would give me a 15K line - which messed up my financial planning to begin with). They will wait until the last millisecond of each payment due date before they get my money.

I was approved for Chase Freedom credit card. Because of an address error the card was sent back to Chase. When I contacted the Customer Service was told that Chase has rejected my application and I no longer qualify for their card. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard a company doing after the card was in the mail. How can this happen after Chase ran a credit inquiry and now I will be ding for inquiry. The most ridiculous thing is I do all my banking at Chase and have for years. So disappointed but I'm sure they couldn't care about my disappointment.

I have been a long time Chase credit card customer - small business and personal credit card. Spending a great deal of money and always paying on time via auto payments thru my bank to avoid late charges. In the past year, I have had to dispute charges for 3 online (scam) purchases. 1. Mariachis for party - PayPal payment (made) then no one answers Mariachi's phone when calling to confirm reservation. Yikes! Immediately put in dispute, took months to resolve.
2. Orbitz - booked a room, show up at hotel with copy of reservation in hand. They have no record of my reservation, this hotel fully booked (sorry). Had to find alternative sleeping arrangements. Took months to get my money back from Orbitz thru Chase dispute dept. 3. Hotwire, most recent issue - purchased online (auction) hotel where you are given star rating, location and nightly price. Don't know the name of the hotel till you receive email confirmation. I pushed the agree button (as I have done numerous times in the past with Hotwire), read confirmation email, shocked to read "mandatory check out fees of $125-$175.00 plus 4.6% excise fees will be added." This is for a two night stay. Room rate $176/night. With taxes included Hotwire has me at $435.00 with the anticipated extra "looming" fees of $200.00 to be paid at check out. What a bait and switch scam! This adds an extra $100.00/night. Quite a shock here.
I am a bargain hunter, as most are who shop these third-party travel sites. Buyer beware! Immediately tried working it out with Hotwire, hotel, and Chase credit card. Hotel empathetic but would only cancel reservation if notified by Hotwire. Hotwire (agents in the Philippines) absolutely unwilling to reconcile or cancel this reservation and help find an alternative hotel. But my biggest gripe of all was that for over three months of going back and forth with Chase via filling out forms and faxing to them thru Chase bank branch to be sure they received them and too many phone calls to mention... I was feeling confident this would soon be resolved and moved on.
Then I received a package from Chase requesting more information be filled out and forwarded to them with a deadline - the following day! I spent a good hour compiling my files, wrote a chronological breakdown of case with dates, contacts, etc. then had Chase bank branch fax to dispute dept. for me (again). At this point I called and requested to speak to a supervisor in the dispute dept. A guy named Nick reviews my case, and says to me this should have never gone to dispute as the notations on transaction state all sales final. "You pushed the button." I pushed the accept button in early January 2016. The reservation was for April 2016. Dispute case was opened the minute I received the Hotwire confirmation in January 2016.
I was under the false impression, based on my frequent calls and written correspondence with the Chase dispute dept. (in the Philippines) from Jan. thru the end of April that Chase would protect their customer and this was a valid dispute with a credit placed on my account. I recently learned after the hotel reservation date (Note: we did not stay at this hotel for the two nights) believing this was resolved with chase. We booked an alternative hotel for the same two nights elsewhere as I truly believed this was resolved. Wrong! Had I known this, we would have stayed at this hotel, paid the excessive extra "hidden Hotwire fees" and not lose the $435.00 plus the cost to stay at an alternative hotel.
Well, this has been lengthy but I hope that it may help others experience the same fate. What I have learned, never use a third-party booking site for travel, unless it is through Costco which continues to have good customer care service. And most importantly, Chase credit card company will mislead their customers to believe they are "protected from fraud and abuse". Their priority is to protect the merchant with disputed items. They outsource their dispute dept. to the Philippines (nice place to travel, but not where you want your banking handled or share your social security number with).
Frightening what is going on in the cyber-shopping world. It's like leading pigs to slaughter, and I feel slaughtered or swindled out of my $435.00 in this case.I am now shopping for a credit card company that holds all of your financial information in the USA whom you can call and speak to someone who you can understand, can empathize with your disputes and ultimately protect their customers from fraud and abuse. Chase can not offer this. I will be moving on.

I have 3 credit cards with Chase and have been a customer since 2011. I have never had a late payment and have never had a single credit limit increase in 5 years!!! I have well over a 700 credit score and thought it was more than reasonable to ask for a credit limit increase (CLI). So, I emailed customer service since there is not a automated online system to request a CLI and my Amazon credit card was increased within a few days. The other two credit cards were denied weeks later. Their explanation was I had 'too many credit inquiries and newly opened accounts within the last 2 years'. At this point I'm shocked... I have credit cards with almost every other credit company (Capital One, Citi, Discover, Barclays, TD Bank, Bank of America, and Amex), and not one of them denied me for that reason if they denied me at all.
So, I think there must be a mistake. See, in addition to their not being an automated CLI system, each request is a HARD HIT on your credit report. So, not only did they deny me a CLI on a 5-year-old account with no balance but they also added three new inquiries which negatively affects my credit score for 6 months and remains on my report for 2 years. I was surprised, insulted, and dumbfounded. So, I emailed them back and nicely explained that this was very unfair. To not only add hard hits to my credit report but then reject me, for a harmless CLI. They then said they would review everything again and I was hopeful. Well lo and behold, I get a email and letter stating they refuse to give me a CLI on either card... Even after I asked for a second time.

So then they charged me a $15 late payment fee and they did not take it off after I called them about it. They said they can only take fees off once in a 6 month period and that I already used that up and that late fee was because they quit sending me a bill by mail without my consent - I was supposed to go online to pay it. I hadn't even known I had a bill to pay until I called them after the due date to see if I didn't have a bill to pay.
Other credit card companies don't do this and I know for a fact because I have 3 others that I use. I have credit cards that you can pay up till midnight on your due date. The time isn't an issue if I know it but if they put a due date down they should respect that because if you talk to a representative before midnight you are OK but not if you use the automated system.

Today I experienced a Comcast-esque customer service experience with Chase that I would like to use as internal awareness for you if you have a moment. Cliff Notes: There is a clear disconnect between the information you are providing your customers and the information you receive from the airlines you partner with. Updates and changes are not communicated. Invest in better data share. Set higher expectations of the airlines. Use multiple forms of communication. “Click if you received this” as validation to protect your customers.
Your customer service needs to be trained to be solution oriented. All three of the people I spoke with had horrifyingly unhelpful responses to my issue that simply increased my frustration level rather than put me in ease. Having implemented call centers for past clients all of the basic rules of customer service were neglected and I was left feeling at fault. If Chase is in the wrong, the processing fee needs to be voided. I ended up paying a $47 processing fee because the flight I booked through your site didn’t exist. Really?
Background: The best part about using a credit card is to cash in those much earned reward points after spending your hard earned income. In my case I chose to book a ticket to Thailand to celebrate some much needed relaxation after a particularly difficult NGO project in Nepal. Two months ago I selected my flights, timed perfectly with a friend from the US. This evening, the night before my flight, I check in to my flight and after careful review of my boarding pass I notice that the times are different, not only that, but I don’t even have the second leg of my flight anymore meaning that I’m at this point stuck in KUL. The airlines website doesn’t even recognize my flight number. Hmm.
I browse through all my emails and junk to find no notifications of this change. So immediately I call the Chase hotline provided with my purchase to see what is going on. The rep is quick to proclaim that he cannot do anything until the Reservation Change office is opened at 8:30 am, a few hours from now. I bite my tongue and wait and call back to be immediately told they also cannot do anything since my flight is tomorrow. After escalation to management after ten minutes on hold I am again told that there is nothing that they can do and if my communication continues as such she will disconnect the line (I’ll admit, my even kneeled nature was very tested and I may have gotten a teeny bit heated).
After putting me on hold again she comes back and offers to talk to the airlines for me if I insisted Chase handles this. During all the waiting, I found a different flight on Expedia that will get me there at my anticipated arrival time and request that she cancels all my flights and reimburse my points. She told me this was also not possible (Chase roadblock with no alternative solution #3). After a few minutes, the manager looked up a rule and told me that we can proceed but I need to pay $47 processing fee.
Now I’m booked on a stupidly expensive flight, with additional baggage fares, an expensive phone bill, and a $47 processing fee. Yet no alternative was provided to me so here I sit. Pretty frustrated. The worst part is this is the second time this has happened using Chase Reward Points. So I would like to say so long Chase Visa – Alaska Airlines here I come.

But instead of explaining to us how to go about the process - they informed us they would do it for us for the best deal, and screwed us out of 60,000 hard earned CC points.

These guys are extremely misleading!!! They are dishonest and do NOTHING to make things right. Worst customer service and worst credit card/banking experience we have EVER had. DO NOT USE THEM!

Received call from Chase today inquiring charges on my Mariott Rewards Card. Result, card had been compromised. Informed new card would be sent out. However, was told I could no longer get a second card in my name. I travel extensively for my profession. My husband is in Global Construction. We have always had two cards in my name and one in his name. I asked when was policy changed. Representative, Kekee informed me it had not changed, it was her internal decision. Our bill is always paid in full each month, our credit score is 822. I keep one wallet for US one for Europe. It is difficult to accept. Chase does not have constant rules and regulations. Customer Service Representative can issue rules devour. Thank you for your time and assistance.
