After reading several posts about reopening CC's I decided to reopen my Saks account. I originally opened it in Feb of 01 and closed it in 04.
I had to go to the store to reopen the card. They did and put me at the same CL, which was $800. I left out of the store--didn't buy anything because I was mad at the CL. I called CS and explained to them that my credit scores and reports are much better than I originally opened the card and I also make more money now than I did 4 yrs ago, then I asked for a CLI. She asked me what CL did I want and I said $1600 (I didn't want to be greedy), she put me on for about 3 mins and came back and said we were able to increase you to 1600 and it's effective today. Yay!!!
Now my question, since I will be getting the age, which is close to 7 yrs, how will this affect my scores? And... Should I charge something on the card to show some activity?
I am trying to find every possible way to have all of my scores over 700, my highest is at 692.
