I am 4 years into my current loan so if I continue to make the same payment I will pay it off approximately 3.5 years sooner and save about 50k. Is this a no brainer or is there a catch I'm missing. According to Chase it is because I make my payments on time and they don't want me to go somewhere else since rates are going down. Any expert advice?
