AOPA Credit Card Rebate

I have this card. Up until a couple months ago, my intrest rate was 12.9%. I looked on my last statement and it had gone up to 19.9%, so I called to ask what was up. I've never been late on a payment, gone over the limit, or pissed them off in any other way. They said they did a periodic credit check on me and raised my rate because of my high revolving credit on OTHER CARDS. I'm pretty shocked that they would do this. I asked the girl if I could get a lower rate since I had just payed off half of my balance, she lowered it to 17.9%, but wouldn't do any better. I have the Platinum card, but I guess that doesn't mean much. It's great for the rebate, but beware with this card
 
The rates on my other cards:
Wells Fargo Visa- 5.9% for 6 months, then 12.9%
American Express(blue) 12.9%
Discover 12.9%
 
Well, I'm not running a balance on this card. Period. It's only going to be for things that get the five percent rebate. And it will be paid off at the end of the month, period.

I don't care if they jack the rate up to 50 percent under those circumstances.

I plan to use MBNA's money for a month and have them pay ME to do it.
