Geez. I didn't even realize RBC was attempting to sell especially considering that they just entered the US market within the last few years. Along with HSBC this will be the 2nd foriegn bank to...

You can thank Senator Durbin (D)-IL for that one. Because of his amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill the interchange allowed for debit transactions will fall from a high of $0.44 per swipe to a new high...

Joey:

The point is not that Americans expect easy and large amounts of credit (which is true) it is that HSBC is crying foul and complaining about the American market (and therefore Americans)...

"HSBC to wind down US card unit if no buyer found"

So, what does that mean exactly? They will do what the issuers of...

US Bank announced today that they are going to roll out EMV Chip and PIN to the US Bank Flex Rewards Visa!

That has always been my point. They never really went after the prime customer. Unless you count the Saks and Neiman Marcus accounts. HSBC's shareholders have been crying foul for years over their US...

Yup. The cities need the income :worried:

Yeah you got kind of a raw deal on that account.

Agreed. Even Barclay's gives credit lines in the thousands....Oh well, HSBC's loss.

Excellent:cheesing: Did you request it or was it automatic?

HA! That is sweet. Just proves that the little people can make things happen!

I'm trying to talk him into a Zync :cheesing:

He never had anything bad to say about cops. In fact this one time we got pulled over and my dad had some sort of military ID card. I don't know if he handed that to the cop along with his DL on...

See, the funny thing about Bank One is that they are very much still alive. All the brick and mortar Chase branches and credit cards are still basically what Bank One/First USA used to be. I find...

It is still that way....18 year old kids can go and get blown up but they can't legally drink. Honestly, I don't think the 3 years makes any difference. I mean, do we just wake up responsible on our...

They are supposed to. In theory whenever you first became a Member, that year should follow you to any other Amex product (issued by Amex). I have heard of people whose Member Since date actually...

Lots of banks are gone for sure. I especially miss WaMu. I liked the way they serviced their customers for the most part. How could you hate a bank whose tag line was, "Whoo hoo!"? We have rather...

By "took of the shackles" you mean you were 21 in 1967? I was 11 in 1990 but I do remember it. It was about that time that I learned what Savings & Loans were.

But yes, enjoy 21 whilst it lasts...

That makes sense about RBS. I believe I read that the UK government had to bail RBS out so they may be looking to unload them.
I read about how Capital One may be interested too. Very strange....

Heh. Enjoy it, goes by fast! Good lord, I remember 1990...vividly.

Right DNSB was created when Citibank started backing the old FACS credit division for Federated and when they gained all of the May department stores cards. I read that Citibank may be interested in...

Did you get the first year free? If so, keep it because it has way better rewards. Then, next year if you want to save $50 downgrade to a regular Gold.

Which is funny to me. They bought a subprime issuer and then made only half-arsed attempts to attract the prime customers. It is hard to be profitable relying on customers with $300 credit lines.....

I have been wondering when the Macy's cards were being converted to GEMB. Has that stalled?
