Lighthearted Question - Do Big Limit people laugh when people get small limit cards ?

[CreditAggie]

I find it uplifting whenever I see someone get approved for their first card, whether it be for the first time or for a rebuild. My first card had a $250 SL. We all have to start somewhere!

[staticvoidmain]

Never occurred to me. What I feel is usually what the person who got approved feels. If they are happy, I am happy for them. If they are disappointed, I get more or less the same vibe, unless they sound entitled.

I am not a high roller by choice, in that I never ask for more credit than I realistically need. The largest limit I asked for was $20K for my "default" card.

Hell no. Yes I do have a few high CL cards but every time I see a post with low CL, it just reminds me of where I started and I just thought to myself  "Good for you for starting. You'll be successful in this journey."

When I was getting small limits, I looked at the signatures of people with big limits and wished I could just get there already.  Now that I get the big limits, I don't have anything to look forward to (except maintaing financial stability of course.  So grateful for that).  What I do enjoy is watching others succeed in building or recovering their credit.  It keeps me focused outward on others and keeps me humbled and appreciative for what I have.

Only a jerk would laugh at someone else's limit.  
Every person that has high limits now had smaller limits before.

I have $400k in unsecured credit and just got a $500 Home Depot card.

Use em, pay em, grow em.

GL!

I'd never laugh at a limit.

There are two situations that have made me groan or roll my eyes a bit, fwiw:

1. People who don't need to travel carrying balances at 15%-20% APRs on luxury travel cards with high AFs.

2. People who ask a question and get 10 replies. 9 people are logical, clear, and generally in agreement. 1 doesn't even make sense. OP follows the advice of the 1 person.

I think enough of us have been there to understand you gotta start somewhere.  2 years ago, my highest limit was a Merrick Bank Visa with a $2,700 limit, besides that all my limits were less than $1,000.  After actually building my credit in my mid 30s (because to use the term rebuild wouldn't be correct since I never established any good run to actually have even decent credit), I totally understand how hard it is to establish a good, thick credit profile.  I applaud anyone who takes the time, does the learning, and has the patience to lay the foundation for a strong credit profile, especially after hitting rock bottom.

Not to doubt anyone's sincerity (hah, ok doubting) but my team is now monitoring all the posts of the "I only applaud....." crowd and if we see indications to the contrary.....    So, keep up your standards everyone!

Do you have a microchip or something that prevents you from not telling the truth?

We need a test subject. Any volunteers to get drunk, close a Chase septafecta with an aggregate CL of $250k, and open up a few Credit Ones?

We'll see how many "Congrats on the approval!" and "All that matters is that it works for you!" comments we get.

And does a vow of applauding prevent people from empathizing with someone unhappy with a low SL?
