WaMu Credit Cards 2009
It’s now official. All credit cards at WaMu have been moved over to Chase, after JP Morgan Chase bought out Washington Mutual late last year. The Washington Mutual credit cards have now been replaced with Chase cards and terms, but there are some good WaMu credit cards offered under the new Chase name.
Currently, the simplest offer is the Slate card which has a 0% introductory annual percentage rate (APR), patented fraud protection with zero liability, email and text alerting for card transactions, and no annual fee. Many old WaMu credit cards were converted to this type.
The Unlimited Cash Back card (Chase Freedom), has a 1% cash back offer for all purchases, 3% cash back in categories like gas, home improvements, etc. and a 0% introductory APR. There is no annual fee and a $50 cash back on your first purchase offer too.
For points earners, your credit cards at WaMu were limited, but now with Chase there’s the 2 points for every dollar offer on their Unlimited Sapphire card and those points never expire. You get 24/7 access to phone support, there’s no annual fee, and your first purchase could net you 10,000 bonus points with this card.
Finally, the business owner will like that their Washington Mutual credit cards were likely swapped to the Ink card, which has Ultimate Rewards (similar to the above card), online shopping bonuses, and points can be used for more business-oriented purposes like travel or gift cards for gifting. It has zero liability protection, of course, and is globally accepted.
So now that your credit cards at WaMu have switched to Chase, you might be finding that the new cards are better than the old. Who knows?
