Re: Just upgraded to Walmart Discover and CLI

That is just too long to wait for an upgrade. I mean I have no choice but to wait, but it's still too long. I keep checking my account hoping mine would upgrade - no go. I've been seeing a few upgrades recently. GECB is confusing. I have the Gap card with them with a CL of 200 to start. In 4 months increased to 650, before I could ask for another increase 4 months later I was upgraded to a Gap Visa with a CL of 2000???? WTH I'm happy but why is Walmart cards so slow to upgrade? Less than a year of history with the Gap card and bamn and upgrade?? Shaking my head....

Re: Just upgraded to Walmart Discover and CLI

Unfortunately, GECRB doesn't continue the TL from the Walmart store card when you upgrade to the Walmart Discover, so I took a 2 point dip in my FICO for the new account opening.  Ah, well.  Small price to pay, I guess.

Re: Just upgraded to Walmart Discover and CLI

The sad thing is your new card will have a nice member since 200X stamped on it.. Mine said since 2007 but yet it was a new account with no history

Re: Just upgraded to Walmart Discover and CLI

Just activated my new Walmart Discover.  Is it sad that it feels like my life has turned a corner because I now qualify for cards like it?  I've come so far in the past three years. :-)
