Amex Blue Card Interest Rate

I Took Out An Amex 'blue' Credit Card Approximately 2 Years Ago. Both The Balance Transfer Rate(life Of Balance) And Apr On All Spending Believe It Or Not Was 4.9%!! There May Be Some Doubters Amongst You Out There But It Was Defifnitely What I Signed Up To. I Thought That It Was A Permanent Interest Rate And It Was Stable And Affordable. There Have Been Two Increases In The Apr Since I Took Out The Card; To 6.72% Then, In May 2007 7.68%. I Have Requested A Copy Of My Original Credit Agreement But So Far Amex Have Not Provided Me With It.

Anyone Experienced Similar? Any Advice?

I Can Afford The Repayments But Am Sure It Was Not The Deal I Signed Up For.

Thanks
