Do any of you guys actually use the OS card?? I dont ever see anything on their site reasonably priced lol ever.
I do, actually. Right now once a month just for the reporting. But while theirs is a very mixed bag, I've gotten great deals from time to time. You really have to shop it, though.

I dont think there is a waiting period BH. I just hit the button whenever. On my OS i received 400 on the 3rd and 200 on the 15th, less than 2 weeks later.
I'm concerned that if I mash that button, it'll raise questions about desperation

Thanks for the heads up :] This is a card I really don't use and is not critical in my line-up. Having it shut down would not be a problem.
HOLY MOLY- that's a fat one!!! Nice

Me too- but very selectively. I found a matress I LOVE, then bought another because of my strong feelings for it. I also got the underground dog fence I was looking at for about $60 cheaper than anywhere else (with a coupon). And a few other things here and there. It's not my first stop when looking for something but I always check, just in case. Customer service has been great anytime I've needed them too. I was able to get "Club O" for free because of my profession and the rewards for that have been pretty nice too.
I use my OS card probably once every 2-3 months. I agree with everyone in saying you really have to surf on the site to find some great deals but they are there. In the summer I bought like 7 polo shirts I could use for work that were less than $10 bucks each and are quality (I almost wish I ordered more). And I've found a great rug for my son's room too on there that was a good deal and he loves it.
But back to the OP, I saw the box this morning and skeptical. But with my holiday spending increasing on other cards a little, I decided to go for it without clicking the box and was SP CLI $800 bringing that card up to $3800. I'm so glad they give you the option with a HP because I would never have done it.

I think I used mine two times in the two years I owned it... 95% of what's on the site is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than can be found other sources... But, as has been said, if you watch the sales and use coupon codes and factor in rewards, its possible to occasionally find a deal. When they first came out, there were a LOT of deals to be had... things actually WERE priced as if they were over stocked inventory.
I had the same problem with HSN, too. Especially electronics... Usually listed at MSRP on their site when its 20-30% less anywhere else.
This box is also on the JCrew site. I did not check the box, but interestingly I got a $500 CLI this time, when normally I get $300.

Anyone other than gabeerwin click the box before trying? I did my last BJ's increase with Robolady to see if I could do the famous "get a CLI, when asked if there was anything else ask for a CLI again, repeat until denied" method so I wasn't aware of the new button. The BJ's card is absolutely on a 4-month schedule (results so far: $400 web, $400 web, $3000 robolady and no luck when asking again on the same call).
The wording itself is very vague:

More Info
Please note that we can still review and consider your request for a credit limit increase without accessing your credit report. If you do not wish to grant permission for us to access your credit report, do not select the checkbox.
So if they pull it, it's not clear if they mean a SP or HP. And if someone clicks it, there's no guarantee that they actually did a SP or a HP since they may have decided it wasn't "necessary." I'm not eligible for another CLI until March, but not sure I'd be willing to take a HP on it, although the balance transfer at 0% with only a 1% fee has been great.

I use my card all the time. I have had it a little over 3 years. I get lots of bargains from OS, and I have also gotten them to price match a few times. I bought my bedroom furniture at OS and it was about $200 cheaper then it was in the store for the exact same furniture.
