Thumbs up Providian Credit Card Info

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right forum for this info.
I have a friend who had a "credit rebuilding" type of a credit card with Providian. She had a High APR (something like 19+percent)

She just called this weekend, and was told that Providian was bought out by Washington Mutual. When she asked for a lower rate, they gave her a much lower rate. She has been trying to get them (providian) to give her a lower rate for months now.

I just wanted to post this in case anyone has a Providian card, and feels they were not given a rate reduction and deserved one... It might not hurt to call back now, and see if the answer is any different.
