Re: It cant be that hard to get because I can relate. I have a Kmart MC and when my brother and I went out to eat, he was highly ticked when I used that card. He said "Pull out the fake AMEX before using that trash" I guess Kmart still has a bad rep. I like some SuperKMarts, though I shop at Target. I only wanted the card for that great interest rate!
I agree I agree about the rate, it was good while it lasted, now Im down to 16.9, which still sucks. My husband has a secured and a cyber card with them, called retentioned, they lowered the rates to 11.9, I cant get them to budge below 16.9 on my kmarts, and 13.9 on my secured. I had 0% on both kmarts for awhile, but they have reverted, now Im just paying them off, I may go to PFB to see if they can be consolidated after I get them paid off. I especially feel stupid when we go to a nice family dinner, and use my Gold Kmart card, we are livin' in style! LOL!! That card screams BAD CREDIT! I just hate using it, so Ive stopped.
Re: AMEX NEWEST MEMBER - MP$ Just spent 3 phone calls to get to the right department to press the issue. Been on the phone for 20 minutes. Membership Consulting Services STILL MAINTAINS that I should have a card by Nov. 1st! Can you believe that? Well....I'll wait til then and see what happens. Funny thing is that they card and account number have NOT been set up yet. What is taking them so long then? What's even funnier is that I gave the name of the rep who originally set this up and the Optima rep was like, yeah.....I know who he is, like the guy was God or something. Man, he better be true to his word. I would hate to have to write a nasty gram to his boss and their department because after everything I've gone through......you better believe I'll write one!
