   So far, my Synchrony store card (which I use for the 6-month-no-interest feature) has gone from 19.9% to 24.9% to now 34.9% (YES!).

   My bank's savings rate has gone from 0.01% to 0.01%

     @cs That's surely APR. Yikes though!

     @joeo10 My Chase card went from 10.74% in Jan 2017 to 20.24 in Jul 2024.

     The prime rate has gone from 4.0% to 8.5%.

     I thought it was simply the prime rate plus some amount, but that doesn't seem to be the case. 🤷♂️
