I made the mistake of accepting a 0% interest rate offer to transfer a cc balance to Chase Visa, and quickly had the rate increased to 29% after mail problems in getting my first bill. (I had transfered the balance from a card that had a 10% rate.)
I was able to pay the balance off before Chase "Pawn Shop" ripped me off too badly, but I quickly regretted what I now think was a bait and switch offer. Chase seemed to be looking for an opportunity to raise the rate to an exhorbitant level immediately, and did so before I even was able to get my first bill. I mostly use Bank of America; and they have never done anything like that. Unless your interest rate is over 30%, stay away from Chase.
