Re: Wal Mart new card look!

@Jon Stur Congrats for you!! Thats strange that others arent offered upgrades when they have a high credit card limit. What was your store card limit when offered the upgrade?

Im a 18 yr old in high school with no annual income that loves learning new things about credit. I pulled my FIRST Experian Score from Quizzle.com (on 2-9-13). Quizzle.com was the only site that was able to find my credit report, the rest required more information in order to do so since I lack public records. The cards listed are the ones I'm currently as an AU. I don't own any cards under my name since I don't have an annual income to include when applying. Im super EXCITED!! MyFico.com is awesome!!!
Macys Platinum CC (AU) $1,800- Chevron VISA (AU) $2,250- Nordstrom CC (AU) $1,000- Sears Platinum MasterCard (AU) $1,500-
Wells Fargo Platinum VISA (AU) $1,000

I did it through the automated system and received a new card the next day. Turned out they just happened to be already sending me one, so I additionally got the one I requested a week later.

They are sending this new card design because all of the old cards are GEMB - which is now GECRB they included a letter explaning that when I recieved my new card in the mail was sorta outta the blue I was like **bleep**?

Re: Wal Mart new card look!

I like the shiny orange one:smileyvery-happy:  But, my old blue one still gets me gas discounts and that colors me a very happy blue color.  The new blue card looks about the same shade as the new Bluebird.  Does anyone else think so?

Re: Wal Mart new card look!

Has anyone else gotten this email? Apparently I should be expecting a new card soon even tho I just opened my account a month ago. I guess I'll be getting their new orange card.
