BofA partially secured (99/500) card early graduation and CLI

Hello all,

BofA has just graduated my partially secured CC (aka the 99/500 card), right after the 10th statement cut. They have also increased the credit line to $2,000. I'm assuming this is all with a SP since I did not ask for anything.

I have been using the card quite a bit, especially in the last 5 months – $700 charged per month on average, with a payment every week to bring down the balance to $0.

Hope this will be of use to those of us who went this route for building and rebuilding.

Congratulations! I was going to say it was unusual to 4x the credit limit after graduation, but then I saw you had a card with a near 5k limit already Smiley Wink

Anyone have info on this card? Scores needed? Any bad information you had on credit when you applied?

I had no baddies, no. And no credit history either, since it is the first card I got upon arrival to the US.

From what I have learned in these forums, you cannot apply for this card directly. You can only get it as a counteroffer from BofA after they have denied you a regular CC.

Any information on your scores and any derogatory info on your reports? May help others considering the card.
