<RANT>So I recently got a new job and moved from NY to georgia. Of course I needed to open up a new bank account. While I was opening up the bank account the bank guy kept trying to get me to sign up for a bank of america credit card. While I have enough large enough credit limit on my other card availible I thought that opening up another credit card would help me build more credit for when I get a mortgage. Plus the credit card offered 1% cash back.
Anyway today I get in the mail a letter saying sorry they couldn't approve me for the cash back card but were genoruosly offering me a $500 secured credit line(I have to send them $100 first). Are you kidding me? I have over $11,000 worth of credit availible on my other cards (2 credit/one store card). I owe less than $4500 total to anyone. I make a little over 50k a year. I always pay on time and usually never even keep balances. I've checked my credit FICO score and its 750 (scale of 375-900).
Whats the hell do these people want? 500 secured is damn insulting, I was able to get 500 and 1000 unsecured when I was a student and I've been nothing but pefrect with my credit since I've had it. Damn you bank of america. </RANT>
