Just got my giggle for the day. Got a pre-approved offer for a Providian Smart Card with a "gasp" $300 limit and "bigger gasp" 23.9% apr. Oh Gee! Funny, they approved me for an Aria 3 mos ago with a $700 limit and I turned that down. Needless to say, I had fun flying Providian paper airplanes for the cats to chase!
lol, do you know your credit score. Is everything in good shape, or are things not so good w/ ur payment history?
My FICO thru Equifax is 642. I haven't had a late pay in 5 years. I have 6 major cards with credit limits upwards of $1500 (all but two over 1 year old, 2 close to 2 years old), two retail cards and a 13 month old car loan, all with perfect pays. I'm still in subprime hell so to speak: I have 3 collection accounts on each CRA-all medical, due to fall off in 2003. I'm not in to bad of shape. My Union Plus card just upped my limit to $2500 from $1500 so I must be doing something right.
When I get that kind of stuff I use their paid return envelope & send them stuff like....pizza coupons, oil change coupons, etc. If you really wanna have fun, save up a few & send them each other's stuff. Show them what the competition's sending you!
I'll send 'em the First Premier stuff my roomate got a few weeks ago. It has a few teeth marks in it. My cat has to initialize any papers left laying around. LOL
