Joining the Macys 3 mile high club!

Hello everyone, been a couple months since ive had any cli on my Macys account . Macys has so far been a toss up for me in regards to cli. Figured since there has been occasion where i did get cli with a sp not hp, id give it a whirl. My last cli was actually a hp and for only 600 but i guess it was Something right?.

Surprisingly , was approved!. My limit was $2100 and instead of asking for like $5000 or something, kept it more realistic and tried for $900 instead to bring it up to $3000. Nice!! Of note , i do currently have all reports frozen in preparation for my 2 year hibernation in the garden of FICOLAND. I figured if they need my report they would have just flat out denied which i thought was going to happen . I recently baught something for $65 and pif last week so my history is building with them. This right here makes up half of the limit i lost from my closing my Fingerut recently so i an happy. From $300 to $3000 since opening my account so not too shabby. Just wanted to share, great day everyoneSmiley Happy

Congratulations, AverageJoes, very nice!

 

DSNB is HP happy so I'm surprised they did it, but may have done so with SP because it was only $900. Since they changed their systems and policies, everything seem to be HP with them (decided to close my Bloomingdale's and Macy's cards with them about a year ago).

Thanks Humu, and so very true on the hpsSmiley Sad . But i just decided that i have read about some people on our home away from home, myficoSmiley Wink , get clis even with frozen reports so figured at least try it once. I will definitly not make it a habit but thankfully they gave it to me. . Im good for now and that hp i may have gotten is safe for another daySmiley Happy

Ain't that the truth about Kohl's.Smiley Tongue  Been at the max for awhile.  I started off with $300 at Macy's and have it up to $8900 which is plenty for me.  Congrats on your increase.
