Re: Beware of FNBO

I had gotten a preapproval from them back in November 2020 accepted their offer got a 15K SL managed to get it up to 25K. I used it sparely but did put some spend on it . In Sept 2021 they just up and closed it on me no warning or anything I too got an alert that it was closed . I called them stated nothing they could do and to wait for letter . They closed for inquires which were not much higher then when I got the card .

Re: Beware of FNBO

It's understanable imo, 

 

If you take a look at how aggressive they were in giving out huge limits last year and into the beginning of this year.. They were kind of late to the party and realize with the current state of everything that's going on.. it's not smart and they have to cut back.

 

Pre-emptive moves on their part. Don't take it personal.  They're probably in a position where they have to start reducing their exposure.

Re: Beware of FNBO

Sorry this happened to you and I hope the letter from them explains it as it pertains to your situation, BUT..

 

All credit cards have the fine print that the issuer can close, adjust, etc your card/CL at anytime for any reason. We can't beware of them all.

Re: Beware of FNBO

I totally understand that part and just letting those know what happens to me-especially for those who use their account as "padding".

I had my FNBO for a few years now with a $14,000 limit (starting limit).  I used the card a few times and always pif. Last Thursday I used the card to pay $1,500 on my Disney cruise and received an alert from Credit Karma that the account was closed on the same day. I am awaiting the letter they state is coming. The representative was rude and said " there is nothing I can do or say".  


@lgsmith08, Sorry for your closure.

Would it be possible to post your scores, new accounts,

how much you spent on the card over the  "I used the card a few times and always pif"

Aggregate and individual CC utilization?  clean profile?

Just scratching my head, trying to figure out why they closed your card?
