- I just received a "pre-approved" offer in the mail for this. The
- variable rate is prime + 0.9% till 4/1/94, and then prime + 5.9%.
- It works out to 6.9% at current rates. The catch is that there is
- an annual fee of $18.
-
- I realize that I can save much more if I carry a large enough balance
- for a long enough time, but I normally don't do that. Would netters
- who have this card tell me whether Signet Bank waives its annual fee
- if requested? Any other comments from users of their card are also welcome.
- I have to reply by the 27th. of this month if I am to accept the offer.
-
- Thanks for any replies. I shall summarize if there is enough interest.
