Target finally caved after 3 years!

Ok... So before I continue, I'm sure a few of you are wondering "why is she going for store cards this late in the game, when she has majors with high CL's!" I'll just answer that and get it out of the way now.  Store cards serve a very useful purpose to some people if you shop at certain stores a lot, plus if you've been thru a Bk like me, certain cards are hard to get or hard to get back, including store cards you may deem worthless to you, but worthy to me, and to others! Smiley Happy 

 

I shop at target weekly for my groceries, so combine the 5% everyday + the target cartwheel app + weekly sales on items you use + manufacture coupons = BIG SAVINGS if you take a little extra time to do it all! That's worth it for me! 

 

Anyway, a little history....

Had a target CC opened in 2000 with a SL of $500 which is where it stayed for 10yrs!!!! In 2011 I got automatically upgraded to the Target Visa and a new CL of $2k. The card was IIB in 2013. So now you see why I wanted it back.... A challenge if you will Smiley Wink. The card still reports negatively on my reports from the BK, and won't drop off for a few more years, but that's ok... That date of 2000 is keeping me afloat on my AAOA Smiley Wink

 

So, SL is $300 but since it's Target/TD Bank we all know it will be slow going on getting the limit raised. I mostly posted this for anyone else who was in my particular situation. They pulled EQ...like 50+ inq and 20 new accts this year alone. Computer must have seen something they liked lol!!!

Congratz Pizza, nothing like going back and getting what they told you, you couldnt have. Way to go.

 

A few people asked why my DW wanted a TJMaxx store card after being denied 5 times and she had much better cards then a store card.

The answer was,  Everyone has a card they just cannot get and they really want it. When they get it, it makes them feel accomplished. 

We all have been there and I sure couldn't fault her for that.

250k+ CL and climbing.
