Wife approved for Macy's 4 yrs post BK

Wife applied exactly at 4 yrs post BK DC. Approved for toy. Limit of $500 but she really wanted the card for their promos and coupons. She was denied last year and told she would be approved at the 4 yr mark. That was the last store card either of us wanted. How are they with CLI ?

Nice going. Her toy limit beat my original by $200 so hers is a high end toy timit lol!. I would say clis are a 2way street in that sometimes they are hp and may not give you everything you ask for, i guess all depends on ones current profile, but ive had at least 2 where i got sp luv.Current limit is $3000 . Ist sp was on them my last one i had all my reports frozen but tried for a cli to see , happily they did without asking me to unfreeze, unlike HD, if they are frozen no soup for you lolSmiley Happy

When I had my Macy's card they initially approved me for around $1000. CLI'ed me to $10,000 by request after I had the card for about a year or so. They are really great with CLI's.

That's awesome! Take care of that card and it will grow!

 

i worked at Macy's for several years and I can't tell you how many accounts I opened for customers that were given a starting limit of $300.  

 

take that $500 and run with it!
