I may call Chase to get it lowered but I tried before.
Mine is 15.49%

Great card I put all my travel and food on it. Pays for itself but do better than to PLAN to not carry a balance; DON'T carry a balance. Carrying a balance removes all the benifits that's why I never do

Well, CSP has a regular APR of 16.24%-23.24% which puts me kind of in the middle.

When I got my Chase Freedom in 2014 they put me at the highest rate, but I didn't have much established credit and I was in the mid 600s. The credit limit on that went from $3500 to $14400 in about 15 months.

I have a high income too so I guess they figure I can pay whatever I use with the CSP. I've been paying on time and been keeping my utilization low for this time.

No reason to think the OP will do otherwise... especially with that awful interest rate!
Ha nope! Pay off at the end of every month

Checking online I got a different APR average. Meh...you're right. No balance!
