Those Chase bastards “upgraded” my credit card.

Back in September of 2006 I signed up for the Chase Cash Plus Rewards Mastercard as a backup card in case Citi decided to end 5% rewards cards (which they did). The card got me 5% back on gas, supermarket, and pharmacy purchases.
Today when I logged into my chase online account I got a screen informing that Chase kindly “upgraded” my card to earn 3% in top everyday categories. I don’t know why they have to call it’s the complete fucking opposite. Seriously.
I’d appreciate it if they were honest and just sent a letter that said “listen, we’re not making any money off of you. All you do is actually use this card for gas and supermarket purchases… not to add that you pay the balance in full in month”.
The Discover Open Road Card offers 5% back on the first $100 in gas and auto maintenance purchases each month. I hardly ever spend more than $100 in gas a month so this card might be perfect for me. I don’t have a Discover card yet and gas stations are one of the few types of places that always take Discover.
