Yeah, what he said.

 

The card has no annual fee, and if you don't carry a balance, you'll never pay a penny in interest.

 

I'd keep the card just for the free TU score...


+1 

 

and don't forget you can get free cash advances at walmarts  just buy a pack of gum put on the card.... select amount of cash you want back...  you can go to the service desk and return the gum if you like ;-) 

 

 


I love this feature when i'm short on $$$

To get the CSP you have to have experience with a 5K limit, I would consider gardening past that timeframe and try to get CLI's.

another thing to remember is that GE/walmart is very good about CLI's every 4-5 months and that helps long term with some prime cards others here have posted about being in the low limit trap, which you seem to be, keep the walmart card for a year ask for CLI's every 4 months or so and you will soon be over 4k CLI and it can graduate to be a discover card at some point in the future. Got my Walmart card in november 900 CL, this month they gave me a $100 CLI now at $1000 I expect them to give me another one in 4 more months and if they follow the GE pattern it could be as high as a $1000 CLI and that will definetely help your UTL.
