Sportsman guide increase getting better.

Around 4 months ago first increase $500. Then then today $1200 increase. 

 

Just happy my 4 month cycle is getting better. 

 

Tried my Wayfair... no go. Last month they brought me up to $6700. Guess I'm no longer on a monthly increase with Wayfair.

Good job!  I renew my SG membership yearly just to throw them a bome for giving me a Visa.  I treat it like an annual fee.  I'll buy a knife every once in a while.

I do the same and take advatage of the free shipping. Just wish they would come down on some ammo but the .223 is a great price.

Re: Sportsman guide increase getting better.

I used the SCT and just applied for sportsman's guide visa last night. Said I was approved, but didn't provide SL, just that the card would be in the mail. I called CS today (they were closed last night). I asked him to check SL, asked for a CLI, and if this was a hard/soft pull. He said:

-spending limit $7k (nice!)

-it was a HARD PULL (**bleep**)

-and that to see if i'm eligible for a CLI at this time, they'd have to ask me some income questions and that this would also be a hard pull

 

while the SCT worked for me, i'm bummed that this was a hard and now i'll have an inquiry on my CS Smiley Sad

 

an hour after i applied for SMG visa, i also used the SCT to apply for an overstock (store) card. they instantly approved for $4k. i hope this was a soft pull. otherwise, 2 new inquiries for $11k and decreasing AAoA... not sure if it's worth it.

Re: Sportsman guide increase getting better.

Got the pre-approval for the Sportsman's card, but got the "unable to make a decision right now--will hear in 10 days" message.  I assume this is a 'No".   Because I use the site quite a bit this was the one Commenity card that I really did want. Smiley Sad
