Re: BB store card to close or not

We had  a plan b card also . Started out at 750.  two years ago ( i think it was) they offered a 100 CLI  if we charged 400 or more on it during christmas. We did and they did raise it.. From there after many pushes of the CLI link on the website(with no luck)  we decided to call in and ask the about a CLI and after talking to them and a HP .. they gave us another 300 CLI .  So while the card is lack luster it has grown.  Now after having the card for over 4 years now we have officially given up on the card and closed it a few weeks ago. It sucks because my wife is a manager at best buy and we shop there often. But we felt it was what needed to be done in order to move up from the plan B card.  We plan on applying again after the first of the year.

You have good TLs with long enough histories, so it won't hurt you to close it. I don't know how much good it's going to do for approval of the card you want to keep this one open. But it probably can't hurt, either. I'd just do whatever you're most comfortable with.

 


will it hurt my AAoA if I close it ????.....think I want to shut it down......what are the negatives that will occur with closing it ??

they will not budge on my plan B card..

 

If you have gotten CLI without any pulls then its not a B card

Are they saying you are totally ineligible for a CLI or they want a HP to get a CLI?
