After being transferred from overseas to credit department, she also did not know the answer, she then transferred me to the application line which then refers you to householdbank.com... Not a help at all!

I did the pre-qual at householdbank.com while waiting for her and I was pre-approved for Platinum which is better then what I was getting before but it had an annual fee, I thought that was the whole point of Platinum is no annual fee and higher credit lines. I'm just going to keep this card for 6 months, then check bestbuy agian and see if they pre-qual me for the platinum

Funny, I was just doing the same thing, householdbank.com pre-qual and also got pre approved but then got "you have the maximum number of HSBC cards message. I wonder if that counts as a hard inquiry anyway.
