Discover trying to keep up with Jones(Amex)

It came! Yay! The only thing is that they didn't sent it in the cute little box. :/ It came in a envelope.... darn it, Discover. I wanted that IT Box! Oh well....

@Cdnewmanpac - Wow, your experience really is a bad one and I wouldn't feel good about them either.  But just as people rave over the best CC's, like of course Discover, NFCU, Amex, etc., there is always someone who can say that their experience was awful with them.  That is why these companies are highly rated because the majority of the people have positive experiences.  It just sucks to be the one to say that your experience was by far in contrast to the majority.  I feel the same way about the GECRB cards.  Everybody raves over how much their CLI's are and I've gotten zero even though I PIF each month, so I completely understand your feelings.  Oh and Discover only gave me a $1K CL and I was like WTH?  What can I do with that?  I called and said didn't you see that I have at least $5K and $7.5 CL's?  They said too that there was nothing they could do and to wait 6 months.  So I will just see what happens in 6 months and I hope it finally works out better for you.

Okay to the topic of the thread:

I received my email from them on 12/31 (5:04AM) stating my card was on its way.  I recieved my CC on 1/2 in the evening from fedex.  So considering that these days were new years eve and day, then I consider that pretty fast.

Oh no! I mean I'm glad you got it but why didn't it come in the box?  Did you do a PC?

[GoldenloveNY]

I know. I was so disappointed, but at least I got the card. I really like it (much better than my black glow More). And yes, I did a PC from the More to the IT. Maybe that has something to do with it? :/

[Rhaeny]

Yea a PC seems to be the only reason I can think of.

YES THEY DO USE ENHANCED!!!!

I was kind of pissed about that because myFico score is 714 but the enhanced score they sent says 668 .

I still have a bk showing and a bunch of new accounts so I'm sure that's what precipitated my mere $1K CL even though I have major CC's with CL's of at least $5K.

When I PC'd from More to IT a couple of months back, I received my IT in the fancy IT box. Perhaps they have just cut back on their standards since then in terms of what to send out for PC's?

"It" has arrived!!!!!It came in the nice little box and all....I really wasn't expecting a CC to be shipped via Fedex and delivered on a Saturday.
