Credit card interest going through the roof........

I have a Chase card that I've had for years,actually had a 0% rate on it when I first got it which I think was back in about 2012,I've had it a long time. I had balances,I've had zero balances over the years but it's now going to 16.99% at the start of 2019. That's about a 3% hike in one year and I have really good credit.

I have a balance to pay off but luckily peeps can "opt out" of this increase by calling them up and killing the card. Pay the remaining balance at the rate you now have but you can't charge on it. Works for me.

Thanks Trump,I've never seen interest rate increases like these for decades. If he works real hard maybe he can get us back to the 16% mortgage rates,18% on new vehicles like Saint Ronnie did and then yet ANOTHER Republican meltdown.
