How did you increase your score by so many points if you dont mind me asking? It shows it went from 579 to 683 also were the CLI auto or did you call?
i assume you're talking about me? At the time where i had a upper 500 score i had close to 90% utilization... paid it down to around 20% now...
Both times i tried the automated system and was transferred to a CSR who put it through for me.
I applied today because I need some dental work... I was approved for $1000 line instantly. I'm a 650 score with a BK in 2009

Hey serenesoul827,
Are you a member of a CU (Credit Union)? If so, then see if they can help with your situation, they usually have cards with much lower interest reates but no rewards. They might even allow you to get a personal loan, I believe that most CU's have thier rate at or around 15% which is much less then CareCredits APR.
Good luck with what ever you do, just make sure you don't miss any payments.
True. But CareCredit gives you 18 months no interest on dental work. Also got 12 months no interest on a surgery for one of my pets. Haven't paid a dime of interest to them because I've paid both off well before the promo period was over.
I agree if you use the interest free financing to your advantage this card is benificial.
