    Thats weird. My promotional rate is 1.7 but my regular rate is almost 18%. My CL is in the 20s.

    Luxury4me,

    I think your MBNA card rate is too high. My Quantum Card APR is 9.9 fixed and Elite Rewards Platinum Visa is 8.9% fixed. I don't think that they have any card having 18% and called them to lower your rate. On the websites they have 11.99%,12.99 and 13.99% is the most.

    I'm embarassed to admit it, but I've never tried calling them to ask for a rate decrease. I've never paid them late and I've kept the same rate from the time I started about 5 or 6 years ago. I guess I've been focusing too much on the CL increases and not enough on the interest rates. I admit I would rather have the high limit than a low rate, but I guess there really is no reason I cant have both.

    luxury4me,

    You don't need to ask for CL increase for your MBNA credit cards and they will increase your limit every 3 to 4 months without asking.

    Does MBNA give automatic increases to LOC's as well? Or only to CC's?

    that would be a major difference to me in my search for "Is a LOC better then a CC" grapple that i'm having...

    Whats the real advantage of a LOC over a CC anyway? CC seem much more convenient as you have both the card and checks. Why would you prefer the LOC?

    for cheaper cash advances?

    I dunno, there must be a reason why people pick LOC's....

    Nestea,

    Yes, they do. Not as much times as credit card. I just only increased twice for my Apple Instant Loan for last two years.

    Hey Ron,

    I've got my Quantum 7 months ago and use it rarely. Do you know if they charge any ATM fee or cash advance checks fee on Quantum ??? I believe that someone mentioned somewhere there is- none.

    I have Quantum Card for two years and use it monthly. I don't know they charge ATM fee and cahs advance fee. They sent me those 4.7% fixed BT checks that came with 3% transaction fee. I never take cash advance on my cash back or rewards card except my Discover Card BT checks 0% no fee.

    I picked LOC for purchasing a computer and sometimes they offer lower APR like 5.99% for 3 to 6 months.

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: MBN

    how big is your LOC?

    My wife has perfect credit but like 15 inquiries, what amount shoudl I ask for on an instant approval LOC?

    I myself have a 5500 bluenile.com LOC, and a 3500 Apple LOC. (that's how much I requested...)

    They don't charge a fee if you use the cash machine, but charge 3%, 5 dollar min, if you use the check.

    Nestea,

    They approved me for Apple Instant Loan for $5500 and they increased limit into $6500 last October. Not much increase for LOC and I got more increase for my Quantum and Elite Rewards Visa. I got them for every 3 to 4 months without asking. They give me 9.9% fixed APR for Quantum and 8.9% fixed APR for Elite Rewards Visa. I heard they can convert LOC into credit card of your choice. By the way, you need $10,000 CL in order to convert into Quantum Card.

    I am assuming this is when you have a CC? when you have a LOC, isnt the only way to access your LOC CL with checks??

    MBNA always charge checks transaction charge and there is no grace period for access checks. By purchasing computers or merchandise, you don't get any grace period like a loan.
