Called them and cancelled the card. I have never missed a payment, and have been a customer since 2004. I can understand them cutting it in half, or maybe even 70% to 3000 bucks. 500 is an insult and I'll never ever do business with American Express ever again. May they rot in hell.

I got a notification from chase today that they canceled one of my cards. I haven't used it in about 9 years.

"That's nuts" is bad while "that's tits" is good. Frickin' double standard.

But American Express doesn't give a shit.

I would say they lose a lot of money if I don't give them business again ever. I hope all of their high risk customers default on their CC debt and they die.

I had just bought a mcdonalds breakfast with that card today because I don't want them to cancel it since I haven't used it in a few months. Guess I should've just kept it in the drawer.

Good post. This was very masculine.

If CC companies get bailed, then why the F should I pay my CC bill?

Citi took my interest rate from under 10% to over 22%. Needless to say, that one is now closed. I've had that account for nearly 15 years.

I never carry a balance so I wouldn't care if they raise the APR or not...
