Nordstrom Visa upgrade or not.

Should I ask for a upgrade from plat to signature? What are the pro and cons?

Re: Nordstrom Visa upgrade or not.

I think the pros are more benefits (it should list them on the website if you look at the differences between cards), the con is that signature doesn't report a credit limit while the platinum does, which may affect your utilization.


Current:
TU (5/14/14): 796 (Inquiries; 8/23/13)
EQ (3/23/14): 791 (Inquiries: 8/23/13)
EX (9/24/13): 780 (Inquiries: 7/2/12; 11/20/12; 7/30/13; 8/23/13)

Goals: No new inquiries for 2014, 800 for all CRs by 12/31/14

I would hate to no longer have that CL report.

I did the upgrade tonight! Seems to add some great features and you can go over CL 75% if needed.

Re: Nordstrom Visa upgrade or not.

Thanks everyone! I did not ask for cli because I just got one about 2 month ago. Do I still have to pay this card before the statement date or is it no longer calculated in utilization.

Re: Nordstrom Visa upgrade or not.

im pretty sure that cc's that do not report cl's, high credit is used in its place for scoring.  High credit vs reporting balance.

I would buy something expensive, let it post and return it.
