I canceled my Chase Card!
Today, the Rainforest Action Network and its partners are conducting a campaign against JP Morgan Chase which is financing mountaintop removal coal mining. I canceled the card and cut it up. Here’s my letter to them:
Please cancel my Chase card. I am not going to do business with any company that is
financing mountain top removal coal mining.
I have averaged about $2,500 in charges per statement over the last year and I have been a Chase cardholder since 2005.
I have the greatest respect for the Rainforest Action Network. If they tell me to cancel my Chase card, I m canceling it!
I need to find a more socially responsible financial institution.
Sincerely,
Susan Labandibar

I too join the movement and cancelled my card. I have had my Chase card for several years, and they’ve collected plenty of interest and fees, but no more!!! I cancelled the card and transfered my outstanding balance to a different bank. Chase will no longer get my business. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever…

I hope that lots of people went ahead and canceled their cards. I’m going to try to find credit card based on a small local bank

I followed up by writing to the Executive Office of JP Morgan Chase. I explained that I was disappointed that I had not received a personal response, since I had been a loyal customer.
I did receive a call back, and was assured that my comments had been received and taken under consideration
