RE: Discover Card was going to raise my rate unless I called in by NOVEMBER 27th.

I found out today that Discover was going to raise my rate from 10% to 14.50% unless I called in by Nov. 27th.

Because I just happened to call in today for another reason I found this out. The gave me a negotiated rate of 12% instead.

Also, I qualified for a special promotional rate of 3.5% on all purchases for the next six months, but I have to call in tomorrow to lock that in as they only do one of these types of deals a day for me.

So I thought I would let you know that if you have a Discover card you may want to call in and find out if they are planning on raising your rate next year. OH! And the first customer service rep that I talked to didn't even know that that was going to happen to me. I had to be transferred to their special promotional rate department to find this out. So watch out!
