    If you're new to this board - you may notice that some creditnetters use the expression "UYGF."
    You may also notice that one of our most loved and respected creditnetters - GEORGE - now writes this in his bio when he signs his posts.

    UYGF stands for: Unless You're George Factor

    We use this term to explain actions of credit card companies that simply don't make sense.
    For example - if all of your friends get credit line increases every six months on their new Citibank Mastercard - and for some reason - you don't get any - even though you've used the card and paid down the balance - you would call this the GEORGE Factor.
    It can be used in a sentance in the following manner:
    "Everybody got at least $1000 increase after 6 months - but I got zilch. Guess it must be UYGF."

    Enjoy the board.

    Your faithful servant,

    Mark LA
