    I have them and same limit for 2 yrs. I dont need them anymore but when called to cancel they gave me gold. I have plenty of credit now. Is there any reason to possibly keep acct open

    I hate my Orchard card.

    In 5 years I have only been able to get the limit up to $2600. It started at $1000.

    It is my oldest account by 2 years so I am kinda stuck with it for now. Glad the annual fee is only $20.

    I doubt I will ever use it again for more than a tank of gas.

    Get rid of it. They have annual fees, don't they? You should use this card only to re-establish your credit.

    I didnt know direct merchants is connected to household.

    I think my annual fee is $79.

    They haven't given one CL increase in the two years i have been with em'.

    This year is the year they are finished, unless they waive that fee.

    i got a $500 limit over 2 years ago with them and now its up to a..............$600 limit. i never defaulted and they charged me $10 for the increase. at least it doesnt have an annual fee. it'll sit for a while to help age.
