what are your cards that you have that have the AFs? if you list them, then maybe we can tell you which banks are amenable to changing your card or waiving the AF.
Here are the 5 credit cards:
Merrick Bank: 2500 limit
Credit One Bank: 2500 limit
First Savings Credit Card: 1000 limit
Orchard Bank: 1000 limit
Best Buy RewardZone: 1000 limit
There is no balance on any of them but I used them for small purchases every month (ex. Redbox rentals, Netflix subscription, etc.)
I applied for a Citi Thank You Preferred after receiving the mailing today and was approved for a $3500 limit which would match those bottom three cards and add $500 worth of credit to my name.
Any suggestions?
I would get rid of First Premier and Credit One immediately. I actually have Credit one and the only reason why I still have it because they are waving the monthly fees. I ususally put a small purchase and pay right away!!!
If you call Best Buy RewardZone they will waive the annual fee and ask for a soft pull CLI...I just got one this week.
