Now that you all are mentioning it, I do have issues 50% of the time logging in to their website. But I'm just using Firefox on a pc. I mostly use the card for the 5% gas reward. Ironically, although I have been traveling a lot, one of the "fraud" cases happened at my local and well used station. The rest were online transactions with big retailers.

I just called in for the 3rd time to re-activate my card in the last 6 months. Every time I call takes up about 10 minutes of my time and to research the purchases I made. Twice, I didn't get the call first and was declined at the POS. Luckily, I always carry backups. These are simple purchases that I regularly make and I don't feel like they should initiate fraud lockdowns every time I want to use the card. Penfed has become a straight up hassle to use. I have 20 or more other cards and never have I had a card shut down until I called in. Most just have a text or email that asks if you did o

The Master What Counts as a Consumer Finance Tradeline
Jon77 replied to hegemony's topic in Credit Forum
You would think this would fall under unfair trade practice as it places a negative and false stigma on certain financing institutions causing borrowers to steer away from them for unjust reasons. They should be driven to or away from these lenders by their terms alone, not by FICO's opinion of them. Remember when Amex thought you were scum for using their cards at Walmart? -

Warning: Setting new Walmart card account on Cap One
Jon77 replied to cashnocredit's topic in Credit Forum
I've had no trouble with Sync and CLI's. They are all maxed at $25-35k. But this new Crap1 thing is making me just as sick to my stomach as walking into an actual Walmart.😝 -

I just searched and only saw a handful of people getting this recently. So I'm not sure if Target is sending these out to a wave of people or not. I've had the card since 2009 with a $1k limit. Never really used it much except to keep it open. My last purchase in a year was their caramel popcorn. I highly recommend giving it a try. lol What was strange is that last month they sent out a letter increasing my limit from $1k to $1.6k. Then about 3 weeks later they sent me the upgrade to the creditcard (don't recall which product), and a limit increase to $6k.

Android has had videocalling as well. Don't think I've ever called an Iphone user on my android. I'm gonna see what happens. edit: Just tried videocalling an Iphone user and it didn't work. 😕 -
America’s Fastest-Growing Credit Card Is Also Its Least Favorite

I tried clicking but got blocked for malware. Even my computer knows that card is a disease. -
I seem to recall once that Amex was a jealous whore. I'm wondering if Chase is starting to want monogamy as well.

Got my "semi-denial" letter for my CLI I requested. I say that because I had a $4,500 initial CL on my Amazon, and 7 months later I requested $25k. I got the 7-10day message, but they called me the next day and countered with $10k. I just got a letter in the mail stating they were sorry they couldn't approve the full amount because: Insufficient utilization of current credit line. You have too many active accounts or too much available credit. They scored me at 805. Over the past 7 months, I've run up the total credit line to 30% once or twice, and used the card for Amazon purch

Admittedly, for most people, they likely are not coming close to spending $3K annually on gas, so the difference between capped and uncapped is a moot point. I suspect I am an outlier with an average expenditure of $300-$500 per month on gas. I DECIDED TO TRACK MY FUEL SPENDING IN 2018 AND THUS FAR WE'VE SPENT JUST ABOUT $530. THIS INCLUDES SOME $8 A GALLON 100 OCTANE. quarter mile at a time or 100LL for a single-engine? JUST GETTING HIGH COMPRESSION TO PRODUCE MORE... NO RACING. Perhaps convert to ethanol so you can get 105 octane at only $2.80-ish/gal? It's not hard t

I'd shoot for 91 days. Especially since it's a SP.
