Utter shock....Target Visa LUV!

I can't believe it!!  I checked the mail yesterday and had a letter from Target card services along with my statement.  I open the letter and it was a CLI!  Not a big one...only a $500 increase to $1500, but I have been stuck at $1000 for 5 years.  Prior to being a Visa it was a Target store card that I opened in 1997....my very first CC!  They initiated the conversion to the Visa.

 

Yay!

That's great!  I have been stuck at $500 on my store card for 3 1/2 years now.  No LUV whatsoever. 

Congratulations!

Great news!  Glad to hear that Target give out LUVs.  Eventually, at least!  :smileywink:
