Arrival + had a 2750 limit, Rewards had 2550 and Apple had 2k. Got them all when I was in my early rebuilding stages. Never really have gotten a CLI with them, even though some of my other cards have grown to 5k, 7k, 10k+ But whatever, didn't bother me to much. I used my Arrival+ and rewards Mastercard for some christmas shopping. Put about 1000 on each. For the past couple years of having these I have NEVER made a minimum pay. If my minimum is 50 for example - I pay 200+ as the payment for that month, its never been a minimum payment.
I bought my iMac for school on the Apple card about a year ago and have paid way over the minimum to get it paid down to 350 after just a year, from 1900. But why pay it off when I am getting 0%?
Immediately paid 1500 once January came around and I got my beginning year bonus. Only to find they CLD all 3 cards. Apple card CLD to 1k, Arrival to 1800 and Rewards to 2100. Like...really? I realized I had christmas expenses but within a month paid off a majority of it, and I have been using my Apple card wisely, not making any additional purchases so I dont mess up my deferred financing and have to pay a ton of interest charges.
I am over Barclay. No CLI - ehh not the end of the world, but to decrease my limits, espeically after showing you guys nothing but good behavior - not okay.
LOL Serves you right for paying your debt!
It...kind of makes sense though. Since you can pay your debt, that means you don't need that much credit! It's not Barclay that's out of touch, it's the whole credit industry! (Who gives people more credit the more they prove that they don't need it)
I...started out meaning to make that sarcastic, but now I don't know lol
