Home Depot = Sucks and Lowes = Rocks!

Applied for both the Home Depot Consumer card and the Lowes Card on the same day.

 

HD approved me for $1,000 SL

Lowes approved me for $1,000 SL

 

Called both companies and requessted an CLI.

 

I asked for 10k 

 

Results

 

HD said sure only if we can pull another HP - I said No way!  Why are you pulling another report when I just gave you one a second ago. 'Click'

Lowes - CSR asked what I wanted - said 10k, held for 1 mininute later- CSR said APPROVED!

 

Conclusion Citi Home Depot underwriters suck and Synchrony Lowes Love them!!!

 

Why is Home Depot playing hard to get?!?!?!?!?!?  They just lost a customer since I will be remodling mykitchen with big bucks. Lowes gained a very loyal customer. Smiley Very Happy

Citi Financial is not in the least competitive when compared to Synchrony.

Congrats but if they approved what you asked for then you left money on the table.  Always ask for the max, $25K

I only needed 10k. 25k is more than I need for now. I'm happy with my bump from 1k to 10k. :-))
