CREDIT CARD SIGS? REALLY?

Anonymous — Mon, 25 Dec 2017 10:32:08 GMT

So, I have noticed that some forum users show their credit card info in their sigs. Ok, I guess it's like any other forum, automotive, sig your car and mods, guns, sig the guns you own, etc. I just find it funny being done in a credit card forum but ok. Here's mine. Zero balance, total credit limit $197900. Someone top my obnoxiousness. 😁

Welcome to the forum. Coffee is in the corner. Wipe up your own spills, your mama doesn't work here!

AFIK most regulars post their CC info (Cards/Limits/Scores) in their signature, not to be boastful, but to show data points to others who may or may not have the same type of credit profile. We learn from each other how to manage, build, and in some cases, how to rebuild a strong credit profile for the long term.

There are members here who have perfect 850 scores across all three CRAs, but they are some of the most humble members here.

Stick around awhile, you'll get the idea.

If ever there was a time I sincerely wished for being able to kudo a post in Smorg... this was it.

I've never felt that cards listed in a members sig were the equivalent of one's C-peen. Proud accomplishments perhaps, but rarely does it ever come across as braggadocio.

I enjoyed looking at peoples sigs. For the most part, it gives me hope for what my credit future may look like if I work hard.

I am also nosey and want to know what everyone is up too.

I've learned about cards just by browsing signatures. It's interesting seeing which ones people prefer.

I also like to see all the colors

I’m glad you posted yours. Gives me something to aim for. My goals are in my sig as well as my cards.

Wow, $2,000 instant approval on Target Redcard congrats! It took me a year to get mine to go over $2,000, I am hoping this year I will get the MasterCard upgrade.

Thanks! Did you have to call for the CLIs? I didn't know there was a MasterCard version.

No, I did not call, go into your online account and update your income monthly( after statement cuts, and after your monthly payment posts) even though it is the same amount. Apparently doing that triggers a monthly review for a CLI and that is the only way to get one.

The MasterCard is no longer offered to new customers; however, once a year they go in and upgrade existing customers cards. A lot of people on the boards got the upgrade this past July/ August.

There are several people in the forums that can put your limits to shame, ten and twenty-fold. I'm not one of them, but I'm good with my current credit lineup. I'll be making some changes in 2018, so keep an eye on my signature

Moneyklutz, You and RicHowe said exactly what I was thinking.

I've never felt that people showing their CC info or scores in their sigs were boastful. I too like to browse and see what others have and their timelines and for the stats.

The most insightful and non-judgemental comments are usually precedent to people with 800 scores in their sigs. I appreciate it and so I copied them, and hopefully in the next few years will follow them to high 7's and 8's.

Although, I do find it a little ironic that we expose so much info in a financial forum...

I'm not quite sure where my "Total CL: Enough" falls as far as wisdom vs. snark.
