lowes credit card

Can we use this card outside of lowes?

Also, I've seen plenty of people have a $25K lowes card, but low credit lines for all their other cards. From this, I'm assuming that higher lowes credit line don't beget higher credit lines from other CCCs?

Nada nitch. Only valid at Lowes. Tethered to that store only unless as mentioned in another post being a Visa/MC Bankcard.

Not that I remember but one thing I have seen is huge CLI, my parents have gone from $750 to $3,750 to $7000 and just this year they bumped it to $12,500, so it grows very quickly.

Discover IT $2,600- First Premier MasterCard $1,000- Dillards Store Card $300- Fingerhut Advantage $200

Or in my case a $10,000 new roof with 84 months 5.95% financing which did not max out the card - so not just over all utility, but "card-account" utility too. I think Lowes and HD offer high limits due to the big ticket items they sell, aka new remodels, projects, etc. It's still unsecured debt, but buyers tend to "invest" into their homes and its hard to do a bathroom remodel with a Brand-X Visa or AmEx at 15-25% APR unless you have cash on hand to pay it off quickly.

I was able to finance a Disney trip 3 years ago when I applied for my first one. Bought gift cards and got 0% for 12 months.
