Freedom Approval!

Went into the branch yesterday to ask about Freedom vs. Slate since I had been pre-approved for both.. (Freedom can ALSO do balance transfers at 0% interest for 18mos. And it has better rewards.. so why would anyone choose the Slate?)

Anyway- $4,500 cL! and he said that since my other cards are about to post CLI I should call and see if I can get it raised on a recon.. but I think they would do another HP?

Thanks for all of the advice everyone! Never thought I would get here a year ago when my score was 580 due to no history...!!! Smiley Happy

Re: Freedom Approval!

Slate promos often include 0% balance transfer fees as well.

Re: Freedom Approval!

The difference between the Slate and Freedom with BT is this:

Freedom: Pay 3% fee when you transfer a balance.
Slate: Pay no balance transfer fee when you transfer a balance during the first 60 days your account is open.

 

Edit: Sorry Whitesol, didn't see that you posted that!

Re: Freedom Approval!

Congratulations on your approval. If you are considering a BT, I would go with Slate and use the Freedom for purchases.

Yes, reconning the CL would be an additional hp.

Congarts and yes they would HP you again

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
