RedCard upgraded to Target MasterCard

About a week after my latest and largest increase I got a letter today saying Congrats your RedCard is being upgraded to a Target MasterCard. Will get the card in 2 months. I posted about the increase last week and now that today I know without a doubt that my card is being upgraded I just wanted to share my data points.

 

Opened the redcard in 2013 with a 200.00 SL. The limit did not change for years until 2017 then I started getting regular interval increases until I got to 2K and then they stopped. Then late last year I got a 500.00 increase and last week it went to 6k and got the upgrade letter today. I have a 4yo discharged chapter 7 and had this card before it and kept it after as it had a zero balance and they did not close it. Sometimes I let 50% of my balance/limit report and even carry it a few months before paying off and other times I pay in full. It seems they are giving out a lot of upgrades to the MasterCard at this time so hopefully we will see more upgrade success stories and data points posted. YAY! I have waited for years for this upgrade and this is my oldest reporting credit line so I am super excited about this conversion after waiting so long and putting spend on the account each month. FINALLY! Smiley Happy

Congratulations on the upgrade to the Target MC!  It took me years to get the upgrade.

 

Keep on doing what you're doing!

Re: RedCard upgraded to Target MasterCard

I got a similar letter today out of the blue, but it didn't say when I was getting the new card (and no card was included).  Very odd!
