Uh huh..  I'd like a pair of something high, that's for sure.  I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that my two highest limits are with Target Visa (7k) and HSBC (6k).  I feel like a freak.

You'll get that pair of 10s in no time!

In this economy, I'll take it where I can get it. Seems Target Visa has been good to you.  Sure wish they were so nice with their redcard! 

 

Got the card a few days ago. I was expecting the black one and then I went to their site and see the cash version is silver. Ahhh...whatever. It's still nice.... hehe.

 

Got my scorewatch alert this morning. Was afraid to see what the damage would be. Oddly enough, the new account IS reporting and I got a bump to 766 on EQ. Hey...whatever. Works for me! Smiley Wink

Yahoooie!  Silver is nice, too!

 

I, on the other hand, did a very silly thing.  I noticed that Amex had 'offers for me'.  So I took the Green card and ran with it.  Heh, I wonder if they'll match my 500 limit on my OTHER Amex (non-BofA...  speaking of which, my Amex = 500, BofA Amex = 5k.  Lovely math.

 

Target Visa -- what a freak.  I mean, like I said before, how many ppl can say their two highest limits are with Target Visa and HSBC?  Geesh!

What? You took the bait!  I sure hope they give you more than $500!

 

The Target Visa is insane, but in a good way of course. And, now that you have restated it...HSBC...how in the world did you pull this off?

I got an offer in the mail to apply for the HSBC Union Plus Card from my Teacher's Union.  I app'd, and was approved for 1.5k in 1993 (ficos in the low 500s).  It slowly grew from there to 4.6k.  About 6 months ago I asked for a CLI to make it an even 6k and I got it.  Crazy.

 

I can't WAIT to test my exposure limit w/ the Green card.  If it's 501 I'm going to laugh.

Sorry I've been so slow at replying lately.

 

That's some story and some history with HSBC.  Wow!

 

Can't wait to hear about your testing on the Amex. Hopefully they give you atleast $601. Smiley Wink

OH, curiousity got the best of me so I called them.  I specifically said that I was concerned about the limit based on what had recently happened to my Skymiles Amex.  The rep said my pre-set exposure was 5k (say whaaaaaat?)!  I explained I wouldn't be charging 5k a month b/c I'd have a hard time PIF.  He then went on to say that even that wouldn't be a problem because I could choose to pay over time since there was an offer waiting for me.  Uh, no ty ScAmex.

 

I'm just waiting for the FR from Amex...  tap tap tap tap.

Oh, and btw, my 'good' HSBC card is a non-rewards card so it only sees a tiny purchase once every 3 months or so.  Maybe I'll get a nice BT offer from them one of these days.  LOL.

Wow. Congrats. That's awesome.  It's always nice when they give you more than what you are expecting! Yeah...tell them not to hold their breath on that offer! I can't believe they still offer that option when we all know how much they hate it. It really does seem like a trick.

 

In any case, that's GREAT news! Good for you.

Lol..  I believe both of us are saying..

 

BofA and Amex are only slightly less than purely evil..
