Re: Merrick Bank Approval

Congratulations! I have this card, and I really like it! I get regular sp increases without ever asking. It's a no frills card, but I like it!

How often do they do sp increases for you if I may ask?

Re: Merrick Bank Approval

Congrats on the approval. Be careful with Merrick though; they're the worst baddie I have on my report.

I had a CO with them in  2015. They kept on reporting it without fail  up until March of this year when I decided to settle for less after they refused PFD. I had a CO with CreditOne almost at the same time, but you can't find them anywhere on my report because they accepted PFD and deleted that trade line from my credit history.

You should be good if you use your card wisely, but know that Merrick is hard to work with when things go wrong.

Oh ok, I will keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip. I'm planning to just use it to charge things I would normally buy like weekly groceries and then pay it off.

Thank you! Yeah, I waited a couple of weeks doing some research on here and other sources before I decided to pull the trigger to accept it. They seem really good compared to some of the others I've seen out there and receive in the mail currently. Just yesterday I received an offer from one that wanted to charge 36% interest plus a large annual fee and a monthly fee on top of that! It's just crazy how they want to kick a person down more. But I also know the risks they are taking extending credit too.
