Thanks for the reply re: First USA. Do you know if they have a list of the schools that have the alumni affiliation? I know that there are tons of "affiliation" cards. One of my friends has a San Diego Padre card through FUSA and I got a solicitation yesterday from either FUSA or MBNA for a "I *heart* NY" card. I do. But I wonder how I got on that list?? Hotels selling guest lists? Ticketmaster selling lists of people who see Broadway shows? What's next? A CreditNet card? Riiiiiiiiigggggghht.......... <g>

YES!!! CREDITNET.COM VISA $0.00 ANNUAL FEE FIXED INTEREST RATE @ PRIME + 0.00% (BT + PURCHASES) $0.00 BT FEE LIMIT BASED ON OTHER CARDS...IF YOUR LOWEST IS $5,000...YOU CAN'T GET A LIMIT LOWER THAN $5,000
Hey-- thanks for the link on affiliation cards. Thassa lotta cards. I usually shred the weird-invites I get because they generally seem random. At this rate, there will be a card for everything. What do YOU have in YOUR wallet?
Without Amex and business credit $170,000 over 17 accounts, MBNA biggest at 15,200. Wife has over 150,000. www.creditsense.com
But Kiyi, I've been there. $200 Cap One and $500 Providian (after a deposit) in 1999. Things get better; just keep plugging along. Best wishes,
Sassy, Thank you? What did I do? Make you laugh? Marci, I am satisfied with it. Wouldn't mind a real credit card or dell credit line for a handy dandy 8200 laptop witha juicy Radeon Mobility chip but alas I have a crap Experian report.
yes Kiyi, I was laughing, but only because I was happy to learn there was someone else with about as much current credit as I have, LOL. We've been strict cash kinda folks since 1998 when we did the C13. It never occurred to me to attempt to rebuild credit, rebuild WHAT, I just didn't want to go down that same road again. Rebuild is a misnomer, it reads like there's something to rebuild from -- piling more manure on the pile that gets you what? more manure, LOL. Ohhhhhhh, I just thought of something, eventually it will be compost ;-) I have since working on my CR's been working on rebuilding, the only 2 that will touch me are household and first premier. Sassy
I don't like First Premier, they are expensive to start up. Capital One looks ok, Household? never looked into it, is there a noob card?
