What is your most annoying card...

Anonymous · ‎03-11-2016

I mean, the one that has the stupid low limit, but you use all of the time, and don't want to close because you like it....and you can't get a good CLI on?

Well, I guess my Freedom card qualifies there. While I'm getting 10 points per swipe, and category points to boot, I'm using it like crazy. But I know (or at least the rumors tell me) that the points parade is going to end some day. So the "not knowing" when or if it will end is both a little annoying, and at the same time I can live comfortably in denial, thinking it will go on forever.

Are you sure it's not already gone? I thought it was nerfed along with the 10% bonus.

My one store card is a Brooks Brothers card with a low (and slightly odd) $1,560 CL. It still gives me a few gift cards and coupons, though, and I use it 3-4 times a year.

Edit: I guess I could get a CLI on it if I asked, but it's not worth a HP to me, and I wouldn't trust a Citi CSR that assured me it would be a SP.

Nope, I check it every day. Every day. Still there today.

Good to see...thought that was all done away with! Enjoy it while it lasts!

My Barclay Ring card -- love the thing, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get a decent CL on it. To be fair though, the current limit of $1.9k is certainly better than the $500 SL it came with...

ETA: Also, my Cap1 NHM Ultra card (works like a Venture); have been trying to get Cap1 to give a CLI since just about forever, but they turn me down every time

Target redcard that I've had for 3 years with a $300 limit.
I use it several times a month, always on time and have tried letting a balance report, paying them a tiny bit of interest, and then usually just paying it off right after I use it because of the limit lol. Im jealous of people that got in with Target after 2013, those people are seeing a different target than me lol.

Wait, not to thread jack but how do you get the 10 pt bonus swipe on Freedom? I have a freedom and have never noticed that.
