TD Bank Cash Card

Mellon — Tue, 04 Oct 2016 23:49:37 GMT

I received a mailer today about the TD Bank cash credit card (prequalified not pre-approved). The offer is $200 cash back with a $500 spend in 90 days, 2% dining and 1% everything else. Does anyone have this card do you like it, what bureau did they pull, how are the starting limits, FICO score at approval, anyone recon if not initially approved?

I applied a few months ago when I got the mailer. I received a SL of $5000. Looks like they pulled Experian. Spent $500 on some football tickets, $200 back, awesome deal. Site is a little clunky and is not connected with general TD site or app. Maybe it is for people with a bank account, IDK. Credit came in immediately with first statement. Have not used the card since that one purchase.

I have it, I took the 200 dollar bribe. I no longer use it though as it is only 1% cash back. The 200 dollars was nice though.

In my case they pulled EX & rejected me. My scores were around 700 at the time.

The consensus in the MyFICO forum is that it's a mediocre card.

Agree...mediocre card, but 200 dollars is a nice bribe for a sock drawer card. Pay me 250, and I'll do it again...inflation says the next one should pay more. Any issuers wishing to find a spot for their card in my sock drawer PM me the details.

That made me laugh. Pay me another $200 and I'll do it again. They keep sendning me mailers- been for months. I have a lot of money with TD. Wonder if that would help my chances of getting a big line. Prob not. Heard they're stingy like they're interests rates. I have accounts with Ally with 1% but it freaks me out using a web bank for large amounts.

I hope they can never read minds...I get offers like this, and I'm thinking...suckers. This is the kind of card that is...extract the bonus..collect lint from sock drawer kind of card. It came with an APR, what was it..who cares? I feel like negotiating that, saying add an extra 100 to that bonus, and you can make that APR 120%. I'm gonna PIF any way. I knew this was a sock drawer card when I took the offer. I might have charged 550 on that card. I'll repeat CC issuers...call me...I can be bribed, really I can. Don't you desire a coveted spot in my sock drawer reserved for your plastic? I'm yo huckleberry!

Since the card is SD'd now that you have received the bonus, j/c what is the long-term outlook that you see, for the card? For example, will you keep it in the SD and open indefinitely? Or plan to close it, somewhere down the line, etc.?

You just have to be careful about opportunity costs, e.g. if you do this too often, you will exceed 5/24 and thus would not be able to get the Chase CSR, which is potentially much more valuable than several $200 bonus offers. And in general, "too many new accounts" (or inqs) could block you from another super card. But in moderation, yes

Probably will eventually close it, but there is no rush. Right now, I wll probably use it for very small purchases to keep it open and lower utilization.

Being unable to travel, I don't really care for the CSR. I know there are other ways to extract the benefits, but with the high AF, it is too much trouble.

Yes, but that was just an example, chasing a lot of cards for bonus might deny you one you really want..

Agreed, I think they are on to me anyway...just don't really get the big bonus offers anymore. They got tired of giving me money they have no chance to recoup.

I made my review on the card a few months back, here is my post: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/TD-Easy-Rewards-Becoming-TD-Cash/m-p/4669139#M1353195

As stated before, the big bonus of this card is No FTF and No AF. Ok card but need a bigger push from TD to make it worth while with the rewards.

After I met the $200 bonus, I just put it away to build history. Also, this is my only card with No FTF. If I have to travel, this will be the card I'm using. Then again, Capital One QS is good for that as well with a better phone app.

I just got the card. I've been a bank accountholder for a while. Every time I went in to a bank branch to do a transaction, they would let me know I was preapproved for the card. Started getting mailers and finally applied for the card. I was approved 2K SL.. If you're a bank accountholder, the credit card site is the regular banking site which is pretty easy to navigate. I prefer the mobile app. Can't speak to how the site appears to a non bank accountholder. It will likely stay in rotation with a few other cards. No complaints thus far!

1% on general purchases is typical; for some the 2% on dining is beneficial.

TD tends to request Experian credit reports. If you're not already a TD checking customer, this could be a way to tempt you to become a checking customer. I had one of their First Class cards, started at $5k. They wanted a HP for a CLI, so I closed the account after two years.

Went to the TD bank counter to make a deposit, teller told me I was pre approved for their cash card, I could apply and if approved she would've printed out the card on the spot. Didn't wanna chance getting embarrassed so I declined but went home, applied online, was approved for $3000, I was totally shocked
