Citi Diamond Preferred

 

I have some high balances on higher interest cards but this card has a 12-month 0% intoroductory APR I can't fully take advantage of due to the low $4K limit.

Rebuilding since 2020 from the low 500s

.. but shamefully I really like the card ... come on Chase work with me here!!!

My boss (corporate supervisor, mid six figure salary) has a Marriat Rewards card with only a $15,000 limit, he runs on average depending on his stays per month and how many of us go to other stores, $20,000 a month he said. Last year he put a little over $300,000 on it. Crazy spending, but he has he income to support it and it's reimbursed to him and than charged to the base restaurant using the stays, or in the other cases gas. (Or plane travel) his credit is NOT good, but he swears by the Marriat...lol

 

to the OP

 

my citi DC, my best rewards card  besides gas and it's stuck at $1,000 I max it nearly every month between bills that make sense to pay, gas and work expenses.


It's Marriott...

JCB

 

Annoying because:

 

Low limit

HP for any CLI, and then the CLI wasn't worth the pull

Reports at the end of the month, not statement date

Antiquated website

Unreliable acceptance

Call in for rewards redemption

 

I put up with it because ... 3% CB

It's not about the card.  If you have a low limit and/or can't get CLI's then it's your credit profile and income.  Any creditor uses those to determine what you qualify for.  Do not rely on the usage meme.  It's not just the account itself that matters.  Your entire credit profile matters.

 

None of mine are "annoying" in this sense.  Sure, some have limits lower than others but they're all 5 digits.  It's not because of the card.  It's not because of usage -- I've received a number of large CLI's on cards that have seen little to no usage.  It's because my profile and income support such limits.


Not always the case.  See my JCB post above ... some lenders are just conservative, and don't give out high limits.

Re: What is your most annoying card...

I thought my carecredit was annoying because I was only keeping it for the age.  I ran the numbers and found that I'll only lose 50 days average if it closes.  Does it matter if I close or let synchrony close it?

How much spending do you put on the card each year? Are we talking MS or genuine goods and services? From a low CL, I'm guessing you don't MS much with it.

 

3% is only 1% more than the 2% you can get from low-headache cards. If we're talking genuine goods and services (not MS), even if you put $50k on the card each year (which would be a lot for most people for non-bonus-category merchants that accept JCB), back out the JCB 1% and 2% spending, the 2% opportunity cost, and I guess a Marukai membership fee, what remains? $400? That's not much compared to occasionally getting a new card for a signup bonus, especially a nice fat cobrand bonus.

 

Maybe my hypothetical example doesn't apply to you, I'm just trying to see the appeal. I'd much rather strategically cut a card loose occasionally than constantly use a headache card.

Re: What is your most annoying card...

My most annoying card is quite the opposite. My Venture card. I never use it and although my highest limit I use the venture one more, mostly because the one has 0%. I'm more than likely going to roll it into my venture one. I like all my cards but the venture is the most annoying.

Would my ex-wife be considered an annoying card? She's always in my pocket, charges an ungodly amount of interest, and she's annoying as all hell!
