It's a button you can push in your account screen. It really says "Modify Your Features" and it will check to see if you have any offers to update or upgrade you account.

We call it the money button because it rarely produces a yes response and just like a monkey we keep pushing it anyway!

I think its the Modify Your Features Button but it never mentiions increase your limit on any of those screens, I think you have to call in for the CLI option

Should just call it the Admiral Ackbar button, or the Ackbutton for short, because it's just a trap.

I love the Return of the Jedi reference.

Admiral Ackbar indeed!

Good call.

For it to be a trap you would have to unknowingly fall for it. Were all falling for it on purpose lol

We keep hitting the monkey button because people keep starting "why do I hit the monkey button" threads on myfico. This causes those of us who had finally stopped to think, "I wonder if anything has changed?" It hasn't, but we hit it every day for a week before we realize this. By then, someone has posted another "why do i hit the monkey button" thread and the cycle repeats. These threads have become the meta-monkey button. Even if we can all agree to stop posting such threads, within a week someone will post about getting PCd from a secured card to Venture Gold despite a fico of 455 and multiple felony fraud convictions and the cycle will restart.

I've decided I'm just going to start an online chat with them every month requesting a PC to the Cap1 Green Cash or whatever it's called until they finally give in. I have a feeling I'll be a rotting corpse by the time that happens but I'm going to try.

I'm starting to think about getting a CapOne card so I can hit the monkey button too.
