Fed up with WaMu/Chase? Lots of people are bailing on banks for credit unions, which are not-for-profit organizations and don’t suffer from the same greed motivations that banks do. (article) Smaller local banks are another option. (post)

Wow, Chase pissed off this person so much the started their own protest site dedicated to getting Chase to reverse its minimum payment and interest rate increase on credit cards.

Chase expects to write off between 18% & 25% of the WaMu credit card portfolio. Imagine the fees they need to charge you to make up for this (this doesn’t look good). (article)
