Okay guys thanks for the input. I was just thinking that he extra $100 on my limit would lower my utilization in the long run.Taking the money you would have spent on an unwanted Fingerhut purchase and instead paying it towards your credit cards would also lower your utilization.
Put this in the Hall of Fame of Best Advice
I thought the best advice was "Don't apply if you don't need it"

Since he was at the limit on all of his other cards it actually made his score go up a tad.
He didnt not buy anything and they did take away the increase after like 2 months I think. It actually made his score drop a few points.
IF you can find something super cheap that isnt terribly priced I think it would be worth it for a $200 increase but not a $100 increase.
Do they sell gum?
Haha, I dont think so. I did flip through one of their magazines he got in the mail the otherday. All the iPads cost at least $100 more than MSRP.
I didnt really see any cheap stuff. But I did see a PS3 bundle for $349 or something crazy like that around this time last year. I thought man, these guys are seriously price gouging these poor folks.
Yikes. At least it's not a PS2.

Not sure whether to laugh or scold for not being supportive...
