2 random indicators of economic wtf

  • Orange juice was “on sale” for $2.69.  Regular price was $2.75.
  • After 8 years of 9.99% fixed rate on my AMEX, no missed payments, extremely responsible CC usage, they upped my rate to ~15% VARIABLE.   Which means “You will be fucked in VARIABLE ways.”
    Which means I’ll be paying that off and closing it down asap.

    AmEx did that to me too- and I’d just transferred the balance from my MC, which had raised the rates on me. Bastards.

    Evidently they and Discover made a bunch of changes after that thing Congress passed changing the credit restrictions. They can’t rip people off in certain ways, so they have to shift to new ones.

    You probably got the same letter I did…I’m paying mine off and shutting it down ASAP. Well, probably not shutting it down, since that looks bad on a credit report *sigh*.
