LOL@U_E. And I bet you were real hungry too!
I can't think back that far, but a couple of months ago I app'd for a CC with a local CU. They asked what CL I wanted and I went high because I only wanted one CC to pay all bills, so I told them $10K. I knew I didn't have the scores just yet, but like I said, I only wanted one CC with a high CL so I could pay my monthly bills. Had a BK from 2003 and no lates since 2002.
Long story short, they started cracking up when they saw my CR. So, feeling sorry for me and all, they counter-offered. They said, "$10K, we don't think so. Here's $500, now get your silly behind out of here!"
Well, I cried for a minute cause I was soooo embarrassed, but then I picked my head up and went on with life and my $500 Rewards Visa!
