Seemed rather upfront about the fees or lack thereof.

on the site yes,..

but again, i don't have personal experience with them

i won't say anything else unless i deal with them

I have the Carnival Sea Miles card and have no problems with hidden fees or customer service. If you can get a Barclays/Juniper card for 9-10% go for it. I got a decent credit limit but the APR is terrible. 16.24%. I PIF but ugh.

Given the instrumental role that CC TLs play in helping people rebuild credit, I'm going to sticky this thread.

I was just approved for the US Airways Platinum Mastercard @Barclays. CL $4000!! I have a BK from 99.

I can't believe this!! When I was applying for the US Airways card then session timed out after I hit the button, and told me to apply again. I did. Short story...I was approved for TWO cards. I called, they combined the CL ($8000) and cancelled one card for me. WOW!! The guy was so nice and helpful.

Whoa! Talk about customer service.

"Sorry, we made a mistake. Here's some more CL as a consolation prize. We're fresh outta toasters."

I daresay one will never get service like this outta a CRA.

Making the assumption that you were asking about Providian.

I pulled my TC today and the Hooter's is reporting and US Airways is reporting. I haven't even got them yet. I didn't know the CL on Hooter's until I check my report...$4000. I have yet to hear anything from CCCU. I sent an email today, but it looks like they are backed up. I signed up for scorewatch, but I'm waiting until after the first of the month to pull myFico's. TC: TU-660, EX-645, EQ-638.

it's always nice when they report early or on time, i've had a few that took awhile

yes, CCCU is backed up and they handle all of the loans/credit on a case by case basis with an actual person looking over your report

what was your us airways CL?

when was your bk?

[sar1961]

My BK was dicharged 02/2000. I did hear from CCCU today asking for a copy of my ss card and to complete an original app. My US Airways has a CL of $8000 (they approved me for two @$4000 and then combined them.
