CareCredit TU SP CLI 500 --> 6000

Hi folks!

 

Just some data points to share.  CareCredit just upped me from $500 to $6,000 with a soft-pull from TransUnion.  I've been a cardholder since last October, when I began rebuilding. 

 

I'm now up to $25,300 in unsecured lines of credit, starting at ZERO dollars in October 2018.  Smiley Happy  Man, it's been awesome knowing that if my air conditioner blows or the car breaks down, I'll be able to sort things out and still be able to eat and pay rent.

Once in October, when my cat was having a urinary problem.  That was maybe $280.  Since then, I just put about $40/month on it for his prescription food, and pay it before the statement cuts.

Sweet deal.  Can I ask, when you applied did you have to specify where you would be using the card?  Can you use it for yourself like at the dentist, your dog and any medical that accepts care credit?

I think if you apply at the point of service, then it's more like an installment loan application that's attached to a specific provider.  Of course, that doesn't mean you can't use the card wherever you choose.  You use that line of credit anywhere it's accepted, which now also includes WalMart pharmacy.

 

If you do it online, then I believe you CAN specify where you'll get the work done, but you don't have to.  They do ask how much you expect the procedures to cost.

That's great news, I app'd for my son for dental, he got the card....now he has cancelled/postponed the appt. and I was thinking that was a waste of a hp and time.  He has a dog so he will be very glad to know he can use it afterall.  Thanks for your time and congrats again.
