Meanwhile Next Bank (provider of Nexcard) and Providian (provider of Getsmart) are two of the worst offenders, many other innocent looking banks have similar tactics. (Raising your rate because of the change in your credit score, lowering credit limit with no or shor notice.) I would recommend, if you are looking for a new card, not only read the terms of the card (usually you can read it before applying on the bank's web-site), BUT check a couple of card reviewing/rating web sites too. Read reviews, opinions from others. From the complains, praises you will get much better picture of the card than from any other sources. Good luck in ridding of those cards.
