CDP is a tiered product AFAIK, at 11.99 / 16.99 / 21.99, all variable against prime. Aside from the balance transfer (with a 3% fee) which isn't a bad deal IMO, the rewards program isn't much to speak of.

 

That said, congrats on being approved.

My next FICO goal is 720!!! I pretty much have all the credit I could ever want....

I will prob close an account or two... Maybe my Chevron card lol... Seeing as how I have about 20 open cards now lol

Haha SCORE is right!!!!

Now I really need to focus on debt reduction and continuing to build my prime accounts! I hope my dismal 684 EQ Fico doesn't drop and lower when this new account reports!
