Add it to the dead list young

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?

Nothing wrong with the MyPointsVisa from Comenity.  Considering some of your other cards -- mostly GE backed, this card has a lower APR, 6 months of 0%, 2000 points upon the 2nd purchase, sp cli's,  and no Inquiry from a pre-approved pop-up.  Points can be redeemed for gift cards from over 75 merchants or even cash back via paypal. 

 

Really not a bad card, considering it's from Comenity Bank.

 

I have a few cards myself, that I question why I got -- like Macy's Amex, Walmart Discover, eBay MC, or even Comenity Bank Total Rewards Visa

Re: Remind me why I opened...

Once you get better cards that offer better rewards your store cards that youve had for quite some years seem to just be taking up space hahha.

Re: Remind me why I opened...

Yeah, all those GECRB are just taking up space lol...
I guess I'll keep it for now. $2500 is just such a low limit. It is actually my lowest now.

Guilty as charges, but I'm changing my ways!
