USAA approval wow kidding me!

[Revelate]

Jsu: if you knew you might wind up in trouble with a high limit, you probably wouldn't have an issue anyway .

I don't understand the USAA approvals either, honestly looks like someone added an extra zero in underwriting.

I do like cdnew's plan if you can swing it with your kid. Whatever is being paid immediately out of pocket for tuition may be a good use for that trade line too assuming it will be paid within the grace period anyway.

Having a hard time thinking of another use for a student and such a tradeline. Out of curiosity, how much did he list as income?

my son told me to ho;ld and keep his higher limit card that he is satisfied with a 2K he even ask me that his spending limit on his 2k card will be less that 20% i guess it helps when i keep reminding him the most important numbers in your life is your credit score.

I disagree with you! You are TOTALLY wrong!

The most important numbers in his life will be his wife's birthday followed by the date of their anniversary and THEN his credit score!

Yes, I agree. Forgetting these dates can be much more worse, then a low credit score. Still both can make your life pretty miserable And recovery from both can be a long way to go ...

Wow, I cannot believe USAA gave a student 20,000 in credit. Not to rain on the happy parade here, but this can be a recipe for disaster, especially  for a teenage boy just starting life as a young adult.
