Since I griped and complained about Kodak last week, I thought I would praise a company today. Back on May 11, 2007, I posted here about our experience with Identity Theft. J's ex-wife was successful in opening quite a few credit cards as well as a cell phone in his name. She ran up a few thousand in credit card charges and more in cell phone bills. This could have and would have been a lot worse had it not been for Chase. It was their extra security checks that alerted us to the identity theft and it was because of them that we were able to stop her before it got any worse (she did NOT get a Chase card).

Fast forward to now and we have decided to get rid of our specific gas cards. It had worked for us to have Exxon and Shell cards for our fuel purchases, but now with prices completely insane, we decided to switch to a regular Visa card so we could shop more for price. With our nearby Wawa adding gas pumps, it was the perfect time. Wawa happens to have a Visa card that is managed by Chase. The rewards are Wawa gift cards, which I was excited to hear because then we can use them on gas (not coffee as J would like to think). So J applied and after he submitted his application, he got a call from Chase confirming that he was really the one who applied. They had him confirm a bunch of information before they would process his application. Monday we got the cards in the mail and he called to activate them. Yesterday, Chase called again to confirm that he had received had received the cards and activated them, not someone else.

Again, Chase has gained my trust and confidence with their security measures. So if anyone is looking for a good company, I recommend Chase all the way!
