Target and TD Bank...

Hello all...I was just wondering if anyone has any advice about going about getting a CLI from Target now that TD Bank took over. Is TD Bank going to review accounts on a reasonable basis now, or are things going to remain the same? I will be closing Target over the Holidays (Christmas) if no CLI is given. I can't do a thing with $200, other than pay it off 4 times per week...Smiley Frustrated!

Re: Target and TD Bank...

I was wondering the same thing.  The $200 limit is just dismal.  I easily spend more than that for a week of household shopping.

Re: Target and TD Bank...

Target used to SP me every 3 months faithfully. Once TD took over, I haven't seen any. So I'm not expecting any CLI at all. I'm just going to hold on to it to have an open TL.

Re: Target and TD Bank...

I opened this card in February and was given a BIG limit of $500 haha =)  I do use this card heavy, Target is my main "baby" store since I can save 5% on diapers.  I generally am there once-twice a week for stuff, but I always pay off in full within 2 days of swiping the card.  I was given a $200 auto increase at my 2 month statement.  I know not really a lot, but it was an auto cli so I will take it!

The better question is though did you actually get CLI because thet did SP's every 3 months?

Re: Target and TD Bank...

I got my target card over 1 year ago and it was an initial CL of $300, I used it lightly and in January got a CLI to $900. I don't think that they give high CL's.

 

I have heard of $5000 but it was on their VISA version. Others can chime in.

 

As to their logic for CLI? No one knows. I called before with no success.

 

I think the Taget card should be bought by GE, then we could expect some 4 figures CL's

Re: Target and TD Bank...

face it, target's redcard is a toy card with toy limits.  the 5% pretty much just covers taxes here in VA for me.  not worth the trouble.  SD that sucker.

Re: Target and TD Bank...

I would keep it.  I got close to closing mine.  But it did eventually grow some.  My Target card is at $2,050.  Strange number.  I use it semi-regularly.  Started at $200 like everybody else.

My Target Visa just got another $500 bump this month (less than 3 months from the last auto-CLI).  It now sits at $6,000 and this is under the current TD Bank portfolio.  I do put some moderate usage on it and PIF.  A while back, you could have seen dust bunnies on the CLI front; however, I never felt the need to request one as the CL was sufficient for the use/spend on it.  And, I can certainly understand for other individuals where a $200 CL (for a longtime) would not be worth the effort in keeping... sort of like throwing a pebble onto a battleship.
