Washington Mutual - Visa Card — 

I originally received this card from Providian Bank.  The interest rate was high (19.8%), but fixed.  When Washington Mutual (WaMu) purchased Providian, my interest rate stayed the same for a brief time.  Then it jumped to a large 21.3%.  When I tried to get a lower rate on the card (I have a great credit rating), the interest rate jumped to 23+ %.  I refuse to use this card for anything but small purchases.

I keep this card to ensure my credit rating does not drop.  If I ever had to use it for an extremely large purchase, the interest would bankrupt me.

Otherwise, I have no quarrel or reservations about WaMu.  It is only the interest rate that prevents me from using the card.
