Re: Strange FICO alert..

I am sorry to say that basic math is still the same Smiley Tongue . Your % increases is in fact 175%. Your account went from $8 to $22, a $14 increase. 14/8 x100 = 175%.

I agree, that way, you won't get those sort of annoying messages.

But, as one poster stated, at least you are getting alerts. SW seems to be twitchy again.
