Bryant State Bank & Show Mastercard

There is a now dead thread from 2012 about this card but I can not necro it, so here is a new one. 

I got pre-approved for it don't know the CL (somewhere between 350 - 1500 starting).   I guess I could call and ask.

It may not even be worth it, but I get blinded by rare pre-approvals, especially mailings.  Rate is 29% with $75 fee...which is frighteningly First Premier like

FWIW I KNOW it's an OLD thread BUT I used 4 of the BSB cards to build myself up.....I have Show, Blaze, Legacy and FS, they give SP CLI's when you call and threaten to close the accounts....NOW that I have few cards with MUCH better rates, rewards, etc... I think I'm going to close them unless they're willing to eliminate AF's for LIFE, lower APR's AND give me CLI's...I used the cards heavily....ran close to max a few times (toy limits) then PIF...They were the MOST generous when I was rebuilding....

Shred them even if they lower APR, grant CLI and remove AF's for life?? I'd lose around $8k overall but I've gained MUCH more than that with the recent approvals...

I would shred them if I was on their payroll, even.

Secured cards are a much better deal
