Hi guys. First time post from a semi-long time lurker. I recieved an offer from Providian for a Visa Gold. $49 for a $300 limit. I know it isn't much but for me its a start. It's more than I have now. Should I take the offer and work towards a higher limit or wait for a better deal?
OOPS. Sorry about the last post. I do not have any other cards. My credit stinks. BK 99 (voluntarily dismissed after I decided not to go through with it), couple of judgements.
Hey, poboy take that offer, for real.$49 is low for providian. sometimes they ask $89. '99 bk. take that offer for real. that gold card will have $1,000 limit in about 6 months knowing providian. TAKE IT.
RE: Hey, poboy Thanks Roni. I'll put a money order in the mail first thing tomorrow. Any idea on how long it should take them to process it and send the card?
RE: Hey, poboy it took me a while to get my providian card. it took about 3 weeks after applying. And by the way, this is a good move. Providian will do you right, if you do them right.
I also received a Providian Gold Card offer w/ a $500 limit, 23.99 apr and some kind of processing/annual fee. I have no credit either so I was thinking of taking the offer, even though they don't have a grace period =( How soon do you think I can ask them for a lower interest rate, more grace period, and no/low annual fee? (I haven't sent them my money order yet...)
