Post subject: Washington Mutual Platinum Card

I get lots of pre-approved offers in the mail but one has stood out—Washington Mutual Visa Platinum b/c it has an 8.99% apr and free access to your credit score. I couldn’t find much info about it on the web. Anyone know anything about it? I know WAMU recently bought out Providian and I’ve heard Providian wasn’t so great. Is there online account management?

Why don’t you check with them?

I have the WAMU visa card. It has a 9.9 APR, which is the best out of all my cards. The down side is they gave me the smallest limit ($750) out of all the credit cards I applied for and got.

They have a pretty nice online setup which does allow you to get your TU fico score monthly for free. The customer service reps I dealt with have all been great. For a no fee card its worth getting just for the free fico score.

Hope that helps you some

I just got the card, 2000 credit limit…..0%apr for balance transfer until April of 2007, I won’t use it for purchases until after then…3% fee though…My biggest credit limit that I have every had, I do have a secured credit card at 2,100

I Have a recently issued WAMU card. The one I got is the Platinum Pay-Pal Visa. 0% 12 Months Etc Etc.. Lowest limit of all my cards. Probably because I applied for it “Cold” no pre-approved letter or anything. They do have online account managment and a little tab you click on which has your TU Fico score. Not a bad card I dont use it as my limit is too low. But the Fico score updates every 2-4 weeks according to the site. Bank Of America and the My Portfolio deal on the BOA website is by far the most Awesome online account managment tool I have seen yet! They let you group all of your cards together at a one glance site which does everything from telling you how much you spent last week to letting you chose which news headlines you want to read as you look over your “Trove” of cards and all the current balances (Or lack of) on one easy to read paragraph. It is really awesome and easy to navigate. Combine that with the best customer service I have seen since ever…Way generous lines of credit. Bank O’ America wins my vote as Card Issuer of the year hands down. And I thought the Citibank site was cool. not even in the same league.
