I'll talk to a rep there and see what they can do for me. I'd like to keep it since my other stuff is also with Chase and I can easily transfer funds between accounts and the like- but not for $12 a month-- a $1500 balance would be very hard to maintain at this point in this account.

I know a bunch of people who are closing their Chase accounts because of that new policy. A number of them are employees of Chase too.
