Re: Socks Plus Approval

Congrats on your Cash+ approval!

 

if it makes you feel any better mine started at 2k as well then after the 6th statement cut I was able to double that to 4k. Just under a month after that they approve me for another of their cards with a 10k limit! It sucks now but it'll get better.

Re: Socks Plus Approval

Why is it referred to here as a "socks"?

@Bmom,

It all stems from a poster called @Remedios ,

She used to walk the neighbors Emu Ostrich somewhere in Yakima wearing US Bank Logo Socks,

right before she'd take her kids way deep in the woods and drop them off.

But only if one of the kids (I think she called him thing1) had to be wearing AXE deodorant.

 

You would have to know some of that persons history on the forum to tie it altogether.

@Adkins, @coldfusion, @UncleB and @K-in-Boston could probably understand it allSmiley Very Happy

 

It is the Otter truth I tell You!

Re: Socks Plus Approval

I think I just fell down a rabbit hole now. An April fool's one perhaps. All I need is a glass of wine saying "drink me" 😵‍💫 I was assuming it's going in the sock drawer as the OP wasn't happy with it?

@Bmom, Actually No April fool.

Much truth to the whole story. Seriously!!!!

It's to far fetched to be an April fool.

And yours is a Visa, not a Visa Signature? (Looking at the picture in your sig.)

Yep, in-joke from years back that spanned a lot of posts.  Here's a summary:

@mgood congrats on the card!  Fingers crossed it will grow quickly for you.   Sometimes it's not an actual HP when they say it will be, but I can understand not wanting to take another hit.

The picture in my sig isn't of my actual card, and as far as I know all issued Cash+ cards are "signature". A lot of cashback cards are Signature/World Elite because they generate higher swipe fees than the lower tier cards do which makes the rewards programs more sustainable even if the cards themselves come with none of the perks normally associated with that level of card.
