what pc did you get ?
was it another hard apart from the one you got when it unsecured ?
i d love to do a pc i just hate the af..the guy i talked to assured me that graduation is done with no hard so as soon as i ended the call i checked my report and bang one big hard from boa i thought the guy knew what he was talking about you know what i really want to dispute it......but not sure what would be the outcome nor how to do it ?

Visa World Points I heard there is always a hard when you call to unsecure but if it auto unsacures it's a soft. There was no hard for the PC.

thanks mjbfan79 !
did you use a backdoor # to get it done ? and how sure are you about the af being waived ? (i read a lot about pc's from secured cards that keep af)

Not sure what number i called. I was told over the phone twice that my card no longer has a AF. My card will be one year old in August so i will find out for sure then.

i hope this will work ! i just called again and talked to a nice credit analyst and said all he can do is submit my request for a pc and i ll get a final answer in 2 weeks...i dont know how good or bad this sounds but i ll wait and see ...i ll keep you updated hopefully good news !
When i called they did it right away i was told i would get my new card in the mail in about 3 weeks which i did. It's all about who u get on the phone when u call but good luck with that.

just about the AF you can find out if your card is af free by checking your online acct
click the tab " Services"
then '' fees for this account "
