Best Buy Card

I know some weeks back there was some threads on this card and I was wondering how do I know whether I got type A or B card. Will they tell me what group my card is in and if it will grow.

Go back to the website where you applied and read the terms.  Look at the APR you were offered and make the comparison.

Re: Best Buy Card

Due to noticing the "credit limit button" im predicting that im part of the type A program. Is there a time period when i should pressing the button or should i like them increase it automatically.

Re: Best Buy Card

I ended up calling and just asking. They told me that my account was in the a group and would be eligible for CLI in the future. Also this is the store card, I did not think I would be able to get the master card.

I thought most folks were happier with the store card than the MC.

I agree. It's also my understanding that the store card is a much better card than the MC. The store card is more likely to get cli's than the MC.

Re: Best Buy Card

It depends upon which mc you get approved for......the gold mc with a fee or the gold mc without a fee and the platinum.the gold card without a fee and the platinum will give good cli's and starting cl's but the gold with a fee for some reason is hard to get any cli.

Re: Best Buy Card

Thanks for all the replies. Does any one have experience with how much they give on the first CLI? Also I got a starting CL of 3K.

Re: Best Buy Card

I don't know how much you will get, but you are eligible for a CLI every six months.
