Congrats!!! I cannot believe they gave me increase also! I logged in and noticed they gave me a 400 increase today! thought for sure they would react to me opening 3 new accounts in the last 3 months...im up to 1250 with them now...hehe.
As long as you use it you'll get CLI's. I've stopped getting them on my old hooter's card as I don't use it anymore but I do have another one that I believe is an old Geico but could be ESPN, not sure, but anyways still use it and it gets regular CLI's. Up to over $3k on it. Hooters topped out at $1900 but like I said I stopped using it.
I had wondered about those infamous Hooter CCs... I guess they are still around.

They aren't Hooters cards anymore, they are now just plain black Merrick cards. I've got two now. Can't remember what the other started as but if memory serves it was a Geico card.

So, the old HOOTERS design/logo is gone? I remember back in the day when Merrick was giving these out like crazy... then, they stopped issuing them. I never had one, but it was just interesting to see folks plop down that infamous CC.
I just got a pre-selected for a $500 Merrick Bank card today in the mail and I am considering fully applying. They said they will double the like to 1k, after the 7th payment. No prob, I will PIF like my other cards. I am almost 3 months out of my Ch7 BK, I have 2 Cap 1 cards that have been reporting for almost 3 months now with a CC Util of 6%. I am going to keep it there, even if I get this card. I would like to have a total of 4 cards, as I want a WM one as well for the FICO and sorts. Have yall had great luck with the company? Plus, what FICO score comes with this every month? TY
Yeah they are quite good for CLIs as long as you use the card.
