    1. No we can't lower your rate (15.9%)
    2. Sorry you cannot ask for a line increase, its dont automagically every month now if you qualify

    .... Approxiamately sometime this summer (JULY specifically) Balance Transfer offers will be going out.............

    Call them back & escalate it to a supervisor/retention that WILL lower the rate a level.

    I called last week to get mine lowered & told "NO".....until I told them to CANCEL the account.

    At that point I was given a supervisor(when I asked),& he completed my request on the spot.

    Sister Girl, what was your previous interest rate? How much did you have to fight them for a decrease?

    When I applied in the store(11/02),was written on the temp agreement 18.9;called IMMEDIATELY to reduce to 15.9.

    Then I waited until my May invoice/pymt posted to request LOWER APR(not C/L increase....because line is sufficient & I carry a balance to negotiate my intended request).

    All was in effect by the time my account billed on the 15th,& my call occured on the 10th.

    Sista Girl,

    How long have you had your account. Will I really have to wait six months before anything is done on my account?

    Annie,

    I waited until my 6 mth mark because I felt that should be sufficient time for a established point on this card.

    sam,

    They lower my rate from 15.9 to 12.9% in the first month( Need to call a couple times for talking to the right person. After fourth month they lower my rate to 9.9% fixed.
    No limit increase because the computer automatically increase your limit after six months. No increase for my account yet. My account was opened in Dec of last year.
