Re: C1, YOU SUCK. Amex & Disc, you ROCK

Pretty typical.  Cap One are a good stepping stone for credit rebuilders, but they royally suck at growing along with you as your creditworthiness improves.

 

Amex, on the other hand, is a good grower.  Make those on-time payments like clockwork on your new BCE and they will take you places.

 

Congrats!

Re: C1, YOU SUCK. Amex & Disc, you ROCK

Oh, I will!!! Amex actually told me themselves to call back at sixty days to request a CLI...

 

They congratulated me a MILLION times on the phone.... I really see a great banking relationship beginning with them. I also just opened an Amex Personal Savings accout with a yield of .90%; I only put a couple thousand in it, but I'm all about earning a little interest! lol and I took that money out of Capital One.. so best of luck to them!!! ;-)

Good job! Those are much better cards than Cap 1 anyway! At least, they'll grow with you.

I won't be using my Walmart Discover for regular purchases (unless its walmart related)...I hate their online system. GECRB needs to tweak it a bit before I'll fully commit to using it. That and the APR is outrageous! LOL!
