Happy Thanksgiving! Your thankful for this Approval!

Happy Thanksgiving Gang! Which 1 card do you give thanks you were approved for this year. Since there's the I wont do business with this bank anymore thread. How about a thread on what card did you want so bad and was approved for in 2022. For me was breaking the AMEX barrier and finally got in with the BCP. Lowest CL. Thats ok.

 

Have a Great Day with Family and Friends!

Re: Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for this card Approval!

I would say my recent product change of my alaska card to the Suzy komen card wasn't getting value from the alaska card and this took a few calls to get it done becuz the first CSR argued I couldn't do it which really made me question whether they give a damm about platinum honors (I've done a pc on this card before) and finally after HUCA the third one took care of me. Also I wanted to upgrade to a gas card with a better return and worked at costco

then I had to do folloup calls becuz they moved the annual fee to the Suzy komen card and I had to argue to get that removed.

Re: Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for this card Approval!

I'm honestly surprised I was offered and approved for Capital One Savor One earlier this month. Lowest CL also, statement posted to today (PIF two days ago), and I already accumulated $10 in cash back.

Question are you dealing with BOA CSR?? As Honors you should be dealing with your Merrill people....I never talk to BOA, I have a CC person on the Merrill side that gets me CLI and new card, PC etc......next time deal with your Merrill team.....

Re: Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for this card Approval!

The card I'm thankful that I got approved for and always wanted was the Apple Card. Bk previously kept me from getting the card applying throught the app and not to mention low credit scores. However, doing the SCT suprisingly got me approved for the card with low FICO score and Bk reporting.  It's not the best card, but it's the best for me at the moment due to current profile and being a rebuilder. I'm managing the account quite well as I continue to rebuild. Smiley Happy
