Re: Target Red card upgraded to MasterCard.

Anonymous · ‎06-27-2017

last week i posted that i received an increase to $3000. well today i checked my mail and i had two letters from Target. one was for the increase. the other one was to inform me that my red card is going to be upgraded to a Mastercard. im surprised i was upgraded with my scores being around 660-675.

Nice job congrats to you , all this talk about all these upgrades and big CLI is making me reconsider actually apping for the Redcard now

The only reason I never went for one was bc of their inability to grow very well

I just got notice in my statement that my limit was upped to 5k, then I opened another letter from Target the next day that states I'm being upgraded to the MC version in August.

Maybe TD is in fully in charge now and they figure that getting the upgrade out is a good thing. It seems there is a spike in posting about this since I did my post. (Which was moved to applications approvals even though I did not apply for either, so I was confused by the move and I am happy yours hasn't been incorrectly classified!)

lot of Target MC going around!

the nice thing is that unlike Synchrony and the Walmart MC, this is not supposed to become a new account with a new opening date!

Am I the only one who knew what was inside before opening the envelopes?

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

@Anonymous, congrats on the upgrade!

@TiggerDat, your thread was moved since it was also regarding a CLI. The 'Credit Card Approvals' forum is also for CLIs, so in your case it is appropriate. If you wish to discuss this further feel free to PM me or any moderator. --UB
