Nordstrom "Upgrade"

I've had a Norstrom store card for a little over 3 years and raised it from $1000 to $5000 since then, including from $3100 to $5000 last week. I figured at 5k they would finally allow me to upgrade to a Visa, so I went into the store like they say you have to, for an upgrade. I applied via the register and the associate had to call in since I already have an account. Now this is where it gets strange... the phone rep said that I had to fill out a paper app ( which nobody in the store could find ) and then have the associate call back and read back the paper app over the phone. I was approved but..

 

1) for a baby limit of $1000

2) I had to choose the store card or the Visa

3) had a hp alert from Exp (642 at the time)

 

I chose the Visa since it was already a hit but then they refused to move my credit limit over and also shut me down on a CLI. I don't really believe in no ( 90% of the times its laziness or incompetence ), so I called back 3 more times and finally got a rep who told me that they should've given me the option to move my credit line over when I closed my account and promptly did so.

 

Long story short, I "upgraded" to the Visa and my 5k cl!

Re: Nordstrom "Upgrade"

Congrats on your approval! Seems the salesperson apped you a new card vs simply upgrading your current one. Good job on getting them to consolidate the trade lines. 

FYI for anyone reading this for DP....it's not necessary to go to the store to upgrade from store card to Visa. Many simply call in, myself included. Going to the store will often result in a new app, as it did with op.
