TD Cash Secured Visa

In July of 2021, I had opened a TD Cash Secured Visa with a 1K CL. Though my scores have significantly gone up now and it has been more than two years for the card, yet it has not graduated. I called TD asking about unsecuring the card and they said it is automated. I saw they did a review but still no movement. Now that all my other cards are above 5K, is it better to just close it and take my money back?

Re: TD Cash Secured Visa

It was used the help you build and it appears it did help. I'd say bye and get your money back.

Thank you, I think I will give them a call.

I'm surprised, I opened up a secured TD Cash card in July of 2020 and it graduated to unsecured after almost exactly six-months to the day, and since then they've hit me with two unasked for CLIs; I'm now sitting at a limit of $11,500.  Have you been carrying balances on the card?

 

In the end, I agree with @FireMedic1, the card has served its purpose, so if there is no compelling reason to keep it, then yeah, close it.

I categorically refuse to do AZEO!

I am surprised as well. I recall you mentioned your card and its eventual graduation. I have carried a $900 balance once in Jan just to report and then paid it off. I have always kept it at $3-$29 usage reporting. I guess I will just fold the TD file and close it.

You can apply for an unsecured card while still holding the secured version. I had mine for years and it was never considered for graduation despite TD mentioning it would be.

I just applied separately and closed the secured card upon approval.
