Garden Escape!

Yes, I ran out of the garden...for an Amazon Store Card...$700 limit. I was on that darn site, and the temptation got the best of me. I'm turning myself in, holding my head in shame, holding out my hands to be cuffed and returned to confinement. I shoulda waited, but no...I ran out when no one was looking.

Re: Garden Escape!

At least you made the choice to jump the fence, Citi came in with the Shepherds crook and yanked me out of the garden. I think if you jump the wall real fast and update your sig they may not notice...

Lol! I just decided to turn myself in,  and I'm hoping the judges will be lenient.

Re: Garden Escape!

You should be good, I converted my Best Buy card account over to Citi's online system and saw the shiny request a CLI thingy and figured what the heck, why not. Asked for 4.5k they sent me an automated response asking me to call in, that's when I noticed the HP on my CR (thank god for USAA's daily refresh) when I called in and talked to BIG Ticket they told me they would counter with a overall limit of 750$ thats when I said no thanks, so the rep was like how much would be ok? I said all of it, she put me on hold and got to work. She came back about 20 minutes later and said she would need to contact the underwriter another 15 minutes goes by and she tells me she got my 5k limit I requested.

 

Not bad for a hard pull... lol

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
