Combine two Orchard Cards

Hey guys, what's up?!

i have two HSBC cards, one regular and a Best buy one.

do they combined cards at all?

because my CL is of $300 on my BBRZMC GOLD $2000, i'd like to combine them just because of the fact that i will never have a CLI on the $300 dollars one, so i might be better off combining them both,....

Anything helps,. thanks...

Re: Combine two Orchard Cards

the best buy card is not really an orchard card....they are both HSBC cards, which is what i think you meant.  i don't think you can combine them.  you CAN combine two actual orchard cards, but i don't think you can combine the best buy with other HSBC products.

+1 on the issuer being HSBC and not Orchard.  It depends if your Best Buy card is the BBRZ mastercard, or just the store card.  BBRZ + Orchard can be combined (I combined orchard, BBRZ and Household into one Household).  Store card cannot be combined with a MC.

 

Good luck!

Re: Combine two Orchard Cards

Unfortunately it's like dealing with a stone-age company.. you have to call a CSR and tell them, in no uncertain terms, that you would like to combine two separate HSBC accounts into a single account and consolidate the credit lines.  They can't do it over the phone, they snail mail you an application for credit card combination, where it asks you which one you would like to keep and which to close.  You fill out the form, snail mail it back, and about 2-3 weeks later, you will see it updated online (and I think I got a confirmation email).  Whole process takes the better part of a month... but they allowed me to take my $600 BBRZ and $400 Orchard and roll them into my $600 Household card... I got the confirmation of a $1600 CL, then a week later I got notice they bumped it to $2k.

 

Good luck, and be patient!
