For me, GE sucks. Have no idea why but I NEVER  get an increase from them other than Care Credit who eventually gave a nice increase. I have had a Lowes card with a $600 CL for 3 years...Will not increase it. Strangly though GE seems to give me a card whenever I apply however. Currently I have 5 cards. Probably ran about 4K minimum through there with no CLI. Home Depot went from 1K to 5 K in 6 months.


Shows how different credit is from person to person. Most everyone on here talks about how they get huge increases from GE.

I know! GE increased the line on my Amazon card from 1k to 2k during the same month the account opened!! GENEROUS!

Ges been very generous with me. As well. I

Going back to the topic, I feel the Lowes card is better. However, do you often see promotional deferred interests with hd

Re: Lowes or Home Depot - which is better?

My vote is for Lowes.  At least around here they pretty much beat HD pricing on most everything.

 

 

In the wallet: USAA MC $4k, Citi Expedia MC $2k, Discover More $1k, Zync $500, American Eagle $1.9k, Amazon Store $1.5k, Lowes $1k, Belk $1.4k, Macy's $500, Abercrombie $350, VS $350
Score: 702 (Discover approval 08/03)
Goal: 800 Club

Re: Lowes or Home Depot - which is better?

Having just bought my house we noticed that prices were lower on the things we needed at HD (sometimes by 25%).  I liked the 0% interest on all of the paint, fixtures, etc we needed.

There!!! Finally somebody is thinking outside the box. Sounds like a winner to me. Isn't it actually more than 5% because of the checking package bonus? I am always up for recommending US Bank as well, they rock!

Re: Lowes or Home Depot - which is better?

Yes, the US BANK CASH+ ROCKS!!  Yeah you do get a checking account bonus, I get an extra 25% from the gold package and I love it.  The Bill Pay is just awesome. If you need home improvement, I would set 1 category to home improvement, one to bill pay and the 2% to whatever. 

 

PS lowes sells gift cards. Shhh....
