No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
@wasCB14 inspired this one. I think it's a great lighthearted break from "cancel all of your XXXXX cards now" and "I heard YYYYY is a horrible lender."
So today I didn't receive AA from any of my lenders. All of my cards worked as I would expect them to. In fact I have rarely ever faced declines in decades of credit card use. Has this happened to anyone else?
I don't have decades of use, but I have a lot of recently opened accounts, and they are all working fine.
All of my accounts are reporting balances, one of them up to 28%. No AA.
In fact... it seems like the issuers want me to keep using them.
I even used my newest one to buy myself a snack at the contactless machine without a problem
I did get my first declined charge from Amex a few weeks ago (after five years of regular use).
$11k for hardwood flooring, shipped to an address across town? Not a problem on Schwab.
$40k for taxes on a $13k BBP? Went through smoothly ~$10k at a time. (But it did result in a mysterious call from Amex a few days before the payment was due.)
But $200 in auto parts shipped to my home address? Apparently that was suspicious enough to decline my Schwab out of fraud concerns.
(A "1 if not fraudulent" reply text did let it go through on my second try.)
I can report that the CSP I got back in February is still working exactly as advertised.
I put a single charge for close to $1k on my Propel last week (a large purchase for me) and it also went right though with no drama.
