eldarwen's review: Callout Comment I think this is a decent card to use. I like the rewards program on it. I am a little less thrilled with the 17% interest rate on the thing. I can enjoy the fact that I can pay my bill online and it is not a problem. Especially if you bank with Chase as well. I love the fact that when you get the bill, you can see everything clearly.

I Usually Check It At Night User Icon on 2008-02-23

Remarks I usually check mine at night. It also shows my pending payment when I pay online. The website for this one is very easy to navigate. Which is a plus for me.

You Do Get A Limit User Icon on 2008-02-26

Remarks You do get a CL. Mine is like 5,000. I think it is called freedom is because you earn cash or points and you can switch if you want.

Remarks Amen... I'm so glad to be rid of Orchard / HSBC. How long did it take to get your card ? Now that my scores are 646 657 655 I'm closing all cards that come from HSBC. It feels good not having an annual fee ! I don't even care if the interest rate is 17% HSBC is like 22% and has all those fees.

Remarks I also hate how their CS is outsourced and they try to sell you their fake protection plans. I told one of their CSR that I'm not interested in their program and he said "Ok, I will enroll you right now." Then, I started yelling at him saying I don't want any other charges on my bill.

I Did Not Take Me Long To Get It. User Icon on 2008-02-27

Remarks On the Chase website, it did not take me long to apply. What I didn't like was how I did not get a 60 second descision. I ended up calling two days later wanting to know if I was approved for a credit card. It was with my Amex card that I got an answer to see if I was approved or not. The Chase Freedom card is for somebody who has a 'good' credit rating. I think you may get one with those scores. I wouldn't recommend that you close those accounts yet.
