Yea those are kinda rough. You don't want to praise them, but since the damage is done you don't want to turn around and call them an idiot either. I usually just remain mum.

Hah.. Good post. Now let me get back to seeing if my views/feelings on "crony capitalism" posted elsewhere proves a point

This site has good advice and information, but majority of this stie needs to stay out of the credit card and approval section .
It has been mentioned by others in this thread, but I want to put my piece out there too.
Sometimes it depends on the person's credit file how excited they get at approvals. To you, with multiple 50K credit lines, $500 would probably make you angry and feel like you wasted a HP. But I know from my perspective, I was OVERJOYED when Discover gave me $500 to start. Why? Because I was just starting out at trying to establish my credit history and Cap One had just minutes before told me I couldn't have a Journey card. if it wasn't for that $500 line, my AAoA would still be non existent.

Think DrZoidberg is referring more to the people who apply for card after card with low limits. I totally agree with you that a decent $500 card can be quite an accomplishment for someone coming back from bankruptcy or with no credit.
