MillerFam Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 OK it has been awhile since I posted, but I read the forms everyday. In my recent stint of inquiry removals, I received my credit reports today showing my IQ's Deleted....Yeah. I was scanning the reports quickly and noticed that my Macys showed a CL of $2000.As everyone here says," I nearly fell out of my chair". I thought it was a typo, My wife immediately called and verified it, Yep $2000 w/ $0 Balance.Here is the thing, I opened the account last December in time for X-mas with my huge $200 limit. I bought one thing for $20. I made one minimum payment and then paid it off. 3 mos later...BAM! CLI to $600. I have not used this card since, and today $2000...WOW!No indication of a Macys Visa though.I cannot get Target to go past $200...Go figure.You guys are the best. As always thanks.

AboveAverage Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Miller,Which card did they give? Did you start off with a Red, or did they start you out with Gold?Congrats on the love. It took me about 8 months JUST to get a CLI of $700 from a $100. They gave me a red, but as I said in the other thread, I really think you get better treatment with a Gold or above. YET, you can have a $20000 CL on a Red card....but I guess it tells Macys you don't spend much there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerFam Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Above, I still have the RED card they gave me to start with. Are they supposed to send you a different card? Or do you just go up in levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveAverage Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Above, I still have the RED card they gave me to start with. Are they supposed to send you a different card? Or do you just go up in levels?Well what I did was find out how much more I had to spend to make sure I had spent the eligible $500. Once I spent the $500 within the year (jan-dec), I had to call them to tell them so they could verify and then send it in the mail. It is the same number, and if I can spend $500 more before December I get the Platimum card...(should be easy to do since I want another coat and suit). I still get to keep the Red card and I will still get to keep the Gold if I upgrade to Platinum...getting Elite will be hard cause I don't know if I can spend $2500.Though it would be nice.

So to get the actual card you have to spend so much money? I was not aware of that. Do you get the Visa card? Heck I do not spend that much on Macys overpriced stuff, I have the CL of $2000 I am happy...I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For home and men's stuff...they are pretty good. Alot of times too you can get Free Shipping on macys.com, so I don't have to run to the stores...even though I'm by a lot of them. No I do not have the Visa Card...just the regular Gold now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillerFam Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 That is true. I get daily emails with some great deals. I do agree with you there. Hey as long as they keep rasing my limit I do not care what color the card is. Bring that utilization down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
