Good Luck With That

HSBC is not in the business as of late for giving CLI's. I have the card as well, now going on 9 months. All FICO scores are at least 700 and still have not been given a CLI. Never missed a payment all bills paid in full and still nothing. I am going to hold onto the card for a year but if I am not granted a decent CLI. The card is going where it belongs in the shredder.

RE: Mark on 2008-03-17
Mark, are you talking about the regular BB store card or the MasterCard? I have a Mastercard and they are not CLI friendly either.

Bestbuy Store Card on 2008-03-17
I forgot to mention, it's the regular BestBuy store Card.
initial CLimit is $4000.
then increased to $ 5500.
it's not the Best buy Mastercard.
i asked before I apply at the store which one is easier to get approved.
and they said its the regular store card

RE: Mark on 2008-03-17
I went and clicked on the love button last night and they give me a $300 CLI. Not bad considering I haven't spent anything on the card yet lol
