Bon Voyage Victoria's Secret!

Anonymous · ‎01-25-2016

I said goodbye to Victoria's Secret. This is my first card that I've ever closed. I was getting really frustrated because I only have $150 limit. I've asked for a couple credit line increases and they keep telling me no. I called in and asked one more time before I close the account. They asked me how much I wanted I only said $1000 which I don't think is that crazy, it would still be my Lowest card. She said sorry. & I said can you close the account please? I can't barely buy a bra without using 60% utilization. It's silly to me. Until next time. :-)

I feel you!!! I started at $350 in May tried to increae 3 times and was denied...got an auto increase to $750 in November tried again this month n was denied... found out they did a Hard pull when I called in n still denied me... I love the bras and panties, that's all I wear but might have to ditch them if the don't go up a little more.....

$200 is the most I spent on the card each time I used it..... pay in full everytime.....

Good for you. A 150.00 limit would hurt you more than help. Your credit score would suffer with a 75.00 purchase, unless you would pay it off immediately. Vs is very slow to give increases. WTG👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Male...straight....but I love Victoria's Secret. I AU my GF (now X) for a card to shop there...

EDIT: And BTW, I think you did the right move, OP. $150 is barely enough for lunch!
