>With that said, let's say I specifically name "Chase". Are you going to cancel your existing Chase bank account or credit card upon hearing this?

Well put it this way: if you specifically name "Chase", I'm going to think twice about applying for a credit card there or opening a bank account there. It's harder when you're already invested in a business, but when someone is shopping for a new one, when they hear credible information that shows that business to be a bad actor or that it will provide them a bad experience, it's pretty easy to cause many of them to choose something else.

BTW, I would never advise anyone to get a Chase bank account; they're pretty well-known to be horrible. You can get far better service and interest rates from a good online bank like Ally, Schwab, Discover, etc.

Again, it was a placeholder name. But I'll be honest for the sake of those curious and just say "the credit card that's offered through Costco" :)

yah, absolutely avoid the big 4: chase, citibank, bank of america, and wells fargo. there's always a better local/regional/online alternative at a lower cost and with (often much) better service.
