Lemon Award for Facebook's Visa
Issued by Chase called the 'plus one' Visa

Facebook should call this the PLUS 23% Visa instead of plus one. Lemon Awards are given for bad banking but this one is a first for bad banking partnerships.

The facebook ads splash free facebook t-shirt. This $5 t-shirt can soak you for thousands in interest...

The gouge me rate of 18.24% or 23.24% is classic rip off. When Schumer wrote the legislation dictating interest rates be disclosed, I doubt that he meant post two rates and the bank tells you later how much you owe.

Congrats Facebook, you've launched a week and you get a Lemon Award! 30,000 facebook members who've joined the group "plus1" beware! You're in for a real bath should you ever owe on this card.

p.s. mark zuckerberg, I hope you get more rich...
