Congrats on 2008-08-08
Congrats but Best Buy limits are a joke. Tell me what kind of computer can you get for $300 or flat screen! Circuit City seem to give out higher limits. But then again that is Chase bank vs HSBC

This card is offered by HSBC Retail Services and is a sub-division of HSBC Bank but HSBC R/S is a lot better. They are more generous with their CLI's and report a few days after your statement cuts.

I believe GEMB and Merrick Bank who issues the Hooters card are BK friendly.

The Best Buy store card is very generous with CLI's unlike the Best Buy Mastercard. I've had both cards and I love the Best Buy store card but closed the MC because I couldn't stand the way they treated me as a loyal customer.

If the card doesn't have an annual or monthly fee, don't close it. Closing an account with a good amount of history will hurt your score especially when you are rebuilding your credit.
For cards that you don't use, make sure you use it once every 2 months to show activity or else the creditor will close the account for inactivity.

AU on 2008-08-14
Does anyone know if the account info gets reported on the AU's credit report? I added my parents as AU's on my account and they didn't ask for a social. The whole idea of me doing this is to help them with utilization and increase their FICO scores.
