Chevron/Texaco Upgrade

Anonymous · ‎10-12-2016

Finally got my new Chevron/Texaco card. Got upgrade letter a month and a half ago. Card came in the mail yesterday. Limit was at $2800. Called in to activate the card and was told before the phone call ended that my new limit forthe card is now $5000. Pretty sweet. Didn't have to do anything. Interest rate isn't great, but I pay in full, so not to shabby.

Congrats on your upgrade!!!

I was just increased from $650 to $1,500. How long did you have your gas card before receiving the letter? Much usage?

Thanks AverageJoesCredit.

Yah. It's a Visa now. I guess if your score goes above 700, then they make it a Visa. Would like to get the upgrade for Walmart and Sam's Club.

Got the card in April/May last year. Got letter in August, so 15/16 months. Congrats on your increase.

I kind of sort of wished that i had gone this route in selecting Chevron/Texaco instead of the BP Visa which i ended up closing.

It as other Synchrony cards, do grow well in time.

Congratulations! on the new upgrade!

Nice! BigDaddy63!. Always nice to have an upgrade. Im kinda on the bubble if i was upgraded for Sams or Walmart. It would be great to have the mcs, more acceptance, better perks,etc but only thing that would make me pause now is that it would become a new account and for me im still with a relatively young aaol. Guess ill have to see when time comes but again enjoy your new Visa

Where I live there are no BP stations, so I didn't want to get stuck with a store card I couldn't use. I've never had an upgrade so I don't know what to expect. Both accounts are still there when I log on. I guess it takes a bit before the store card doesn't show up anymore.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't have any plans to apply for any new cards soon. I got in with PenFed and Barclays 6 months ago. Don't know if Barclays will AA me for this new account. If they do, I'll just close the card. I joined NFCU a couple of months ago, so I might apply for a credit product with them in a year or so. I pretty much have all I need. Myfico has helped me get more credit than I imagined I would have so I'm pretty satisfied.

Yeah im in with Penfed as well . Was approved for a personal loan and the Promise but only $500 cl. My attempts to cli that baby have been futile due to bk but hopefully when it falls off i can get something better. I just cant afford any more hps on my eq so itll have wait along while. I dont have the profile that many who are successful getting those big cls from Penfed have not sure i will wver but i want to maybe use them to but new car in 2 years so maybe by then ill have a strong profile

Agree on not getting a card you cant even use. Whats the point? Lol. NFCU would love in got my Navy League membership but am hesitant to pull trigger as im just too many inqs on TU and Eq. Holdin off a bit more on that but i have really reached the point that i actually have more than enough credit cards for my portfolio. Always nice to improve on what we got though huh
