I mean, if I apply and only get a low limit, what's the point? BTW, my credit profile is as follows for those who are wondering: EQ-750, TU-760, one new account in last year, 2% utilization, no baddies, highest limit is Chase Sapphire preferred at $10K, and equifax has 2 inquiries within the last year. Still, you never seem to know with Crap One it seems...
My score are low to mid 700's. Several new apps. Low utilization and about 25k in available credit. I have new credit, but they didn't seem to care when I apped in February and they gave me a much better card...
Hopefully executive office can help with my approval for a $300 $59 AF card. I called in and I was told they do not have access to the accounts yet, so they will be getting in touch with HSBC executive office to get it handled.

(hsbc) We have also had a store card for a while. It was a plan b card although they have given us two different CLI started at 750 went to 850 and then 1100.. We closed it going on almost 3 months ago. Still today if we log into the website it shows open. They are still reporting it as open. Only thing i have not done yet because we destroyed the cards is try to use them to make sure it is closed.(my wife is going to test it she is a manager at best buy and can pull it up with out the card). We have called twice and they swear the card is closed. Next year around march or so we are going to be buying a new Frig and dishwasher and want a bigger CL to do it since my wife works there and has a model in mind.
BestBuy has a pretty good employee discount. Hope your able to get the new account or CLI you want.

There is a few versions of the store card that are VERY good to have. It seems like they offered you the Plan B store card. In this case i'd strongly advise you to deny the offer. The high AF is not worth it. With such a low credit limit that will most likely never grow you won't be able to take advantage of the nicer promotion refers that they have.
Yeah and I already have the store card with a $3,000 limit and no AF. I hope the executive office will be able to work something out.
