HSBC Savings: UPDATED -- Not as good as originally thought...

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 21:09:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - UPDATED REVIEW 11/08In my initial assessment (shortly after opening my account) I was generally pretty happy with things. Here is an update, after a couple years of banking with HSBC. Both the good and the very bad...

Orange Mortgage a good deal

Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:25:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - I needed to re fi my condo recently and get out of a horrible 80/20 mortgage I got two years ago (was largely a bad deal because I was a 1st time buyer, fresh out of grad school with little job history, etc.) I couldn't bear the idea of paying another...

Good, not the best

Mon, 22 Nov 2004 23:51:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - I racked up the points on this card for years and just cashed some tens of thousands in on my new TV. Now I'm switching. It's a good card, service is fine, low rates and no fees but the reward is 1%, you can do better. More importantly, Sony...

Air Canada is a national embarrasment

Tue, 27 Aug 2002 23:34:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - Last September I flew from Seattle to London on Air Canada, changing planes in Vancouver. My return flight was in mid-December '01.

I have never had such a miserable experience on an airline, and I certainly won't be flying Air Canada again...

Seattle Pacific University Card

Mon, 26 Aug 2002 03:47:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - This card has no annual fee, but has a terrible 15.99% interest rate when prime is currently 4.75%. My other cards are at 5.24% and 7.75%. The only reason I got this card is because it has a picture of my college campus and identifies me as an alumni,...

KeyBank Visa

Mon, 26 Aug 2002 03:33:57 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - I got this card as a student card originally with a $500 limit and 17.99% interest rate. Since then (three years) they have increased the limit to $1600 with a 5.24% interest rate (after I called to complain about the 17.99%). I have had no problems with...

The Ups and Downs of the Big Red Key

Tue, 20 Aug 2002 02:48:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - Key has done an excellent job of reinventing themselves in the past couple of years. When I signed on as a Key customer in 1999 fees were exorbitant and one had to be very careful to avoid them. Now, with as little as $3,000 in all your accounts w/Key...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - After returning home after about three months in Europe I was kicking myself that I had charged so much without getting any kind of rebate or reward on my card. I finally got my act together and started looking into getting an airline/rewards card and...

Wed, 23 Jan 2002 02:48:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author czibert - I bought my Vectis S-1 about a two months ago here in the UK for an excellent price of £129 ($190) which included the 28-56 lens, and am tentatively very happy with it. Since then have purchased 80-240 APO zoom lens, SF-1 Flash system, remote control,...
