OMGGGG I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT

WELL WELL I have a bank of America visa card with a 5000 credit limit. With 6 month old Well  my mom just came from her home country and she did not have any credit what so ever.

SO I decide to put hey in my bank of America credit card LIKE JOINT ACCOUNT. Well a wait it to be report to her credit report and today it was show in in her 3 credit report and I was so surprise because her score were all in the 800.s with no inqs. So I told her to apply for 3 credit card . And guess what show was approved for the clear from American express with a credit limit of 9000 Smiley Surprised and the she apply for discover card and she was approved with 7300 credit limit  anddddddd thennnn she apply for the Citi Diamond Preferred Card anddd they gave her 10600 credit limit OMG. SO I was so shock because I have my own credit profile and every time I apply for a credit card they have never give me those limit.... I wonder why those bank gave my mom those limit with only 1 credit card and it only 6 month o credit history.

 

Can someone explain to me WHY those bank did that with her?

Re: OMGGGG I CAN NOT BELIEVE IT

I equate this to a car dealership accepting a $300,000 personal check from a homeless man and giving him the car(s) before the money checks out.  Your mom had/has a ridiculous score + no inquiries so the CCCs didn't even bother checking out if she has the history to back up the score.  Much like a car dealership being blown away by $300,000 written on a check that they forget to make sure it's legit Smiley Happy

 

Good for her!
