No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I'm undecided which way to go. Yes and hope it grows or No and wait til I kill roughly $150k or more in open credit...??? Suggestions???
Currently have: 45 open revolving accounts with 400k avail credit. Might be time to close some down for realz.
This is a problem with alot of CU's and some bacnk for that matter. Is to much available credit vs. income, etc.. Why I try to keep mine around 200k, but getting harder and harder to do.
$500 isn't really a useable CL, but the question is as Baller stated will it grow if you get rid of some other cards with worse terms..

Thank you for your request. Due to the number of creditors you currently have we have counteroffered you a $500.00 VISA Platinum.
Pleaser let us know if you accept this offer.
I haven't responded yet. I'm not offended at the *cough* $500.00 *cough* counteroffer - but this card is really about being a chip card for European travel.

You have 400k in open credit? I didn't think I've seen anybody with higher revolving credit limits.
Congrats! You shooting for half a mil?

Wow! Clearly I'm just a blind squirrel in this world of revolving credit lines! Lol

Yeah I really need to slow my roll apping. I'm already over $300k. Not sure how SDFCU and Unify will feel about that! 😆 I need to lay low. Like real low. Maybe chill till Jan. 2018?
Umm 2018 lol.. We know neither of us can do that im 2 months in garden already and getting the cold chills.. Granted really nothing jumping out at me I must get now. So will remain until the new and great bonus comes out .. Arrival plus just can't get me out for travel credit 50k.

I'm 14 days in lol. All I can do is try and hold out. The perfect time to app for these smaller CUs would be if Synchrony sends me those blue envelopes and I tell them to take a hike. That would be $60k gone right there! 😂

Jan 2018 is a long long time away.*chokes a lil*
But as we see over & over again, gardening DOES pay off.
I'm in the same boat with you though.
Baller – I’ve sent them a counter-counter offer, we’ll see what happens. I’m leaning towards saying yes and then tracking how they are with cli’s. Either way really makes no difference to me.
CreditCurisouity – I’m quite surprised they even made a counteroffer, not sure I’ve ever seen that before. Definitely time to say goodbye to a some accounts.
Grillandwinemaster – I’m not even a big fry compared to some of our myFICO’ers. This community has been a huge influencer on my credit life. I joined June 2014, had around $20k in credit. Opened 15 new revolving accounts in 2014, 10 in 2015 and 4 so far this year. I’ve got to be done or else bad stuff could happen.
