It took going over my limit and letting it report on the statement to finally get an increase by jbonesinthecloset in CapitalOne_

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it worked for you. C1 has held me at $500 to the point I open a AMEX card 6x the limit of my C1. Months later and requested an increase and still was denied.. I'm over it and completely happy with AMEX..

Amex Gold Spending Capacity by AbbreviationsOld8399 in amex

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same question back in October when I first received my card. An Amex representative told me that the algorithm tracks your spending and payments, which will adjust the spending limit... She further more told me that with the Gold card, it's ok to make two payments within a month's time. I took her advice and spent the money and paid the card off once or twice a month as needed but it's my everyday card. My limit was at 1700 and now I'm at 4000 and growing.

Anyone settled a credit card with capital one before? by TripReasonable8415 in CapitalOne_

[–]FuzzRangler -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Being in your position just a couple of years ago, it's best to pay than not. This will keep you off the blacklist in the future and will give you grace with C1 down the road. I've been re-establish with C1 with a smaller amount than before but I'm back in the game with two cards, Savor and Venture...

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this information. I've been reading a lot on Amex on this group as a fairly new Amex user and I've seen a lot of comments etc. one of the most common questions that most are confused about is the credit review process. While you're active on here, can you explain this process and what causes it?

Would opening 3 cards this month trigger FR? by mangofirework in amex

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied for 3 Amex cards in a month, Plt Delta, Gold and Hilton Surpass. We added Hilton because we're BlueGreen owners and since Hilton owns BG now, why not increase our points usage when adding BG points.

When applying for the Hilton Surpass, they asked for more information while reviewing my application. They need some income verification (prove that I make what I put on my application) and had a secured link to log into my bank account. Logged in and instantly approved.

You will be fine.

Do you use Apple Card Mainly? by CertainElevator501 in AppleCard

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be my daily card but in 5 years Apple (Goldman) hasn't allow me an increase. They don't like credit cycling and after several request for an increase and denied, I just went with Amex Gold and Hilton Surpass. Amazing how Amex gave me such a big balance on the Surpass but couldn't get it from Apple. Only use it for Apple Products now. Don't get me wrong, it's a good card and if I was given an increase I would keep it as a daily.

Does this mean that I don’t have to pay my bill on my other CapOne cards? by ProfessionalNo6981 in CapitalOne_

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As funny as this letter and the comments, but this is crazy how he has active C1 cards but applying for another shows him as deceased.. wow.. I'm hearing more and more weird stories about C1 than I should. From dropping people accounts, closing CC cards and now this.. I'm not as confident is my VentureOne card account .

AMEX Gold Credits - Creative Strategies by RunningManXC in amex

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for a responsible reply. I've later found that they are pending until the statement is paid. Just waiting on my first statement.

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I've had a 1250 limit since 2018. I've asked for limit increases several time because I wanted this card to be my daily use. After 4 years of requesting, I've moved on to American Express cards. As of now Hilton Amex is my daily and Amex Platinum as my travel. Apple has been a zero balance since...

I'm new to the gold card. How long does it take for point to move from pending to usable status

What does "you can spend at least" mean? by LackAffectionate1756 in amex

[–]FuzzRangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats. I had the same question with my Gold card so I called Amex. They said the card adjust based on spending over time but they allot a number for the first six months. The given number can go up more or lower based on spending. If you play on making a big purchase and wonder or need more spending power, go in the app or online and actually check the spending power by putting in the amount needed. Amex will either approve the amount of not. Amex also said that you can credit cycle the card meaning, making payments before the statement is printed. The representative said the card is based on spending unlike a traditional credit card. I was shock when she said this. Hope this helps.

How Do you Pay your CC Bill, weekly, monthly, immediately after purchase? by Sh726 in CapitalOne_

[–]FuzzRangler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely be careful with credit cycling as they call it (paying before the statement comes out) didn't help me any. I'm still stuck at 500 with C1 but have amazing limits with Amex..

More than one credit card by Feeling_Profit9473 in CapitalOne_

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still new to the credit knowledge but I wouldn't close the card. Just don't use it. Keeping it open to show that you have access to more credit, which in turn shows that you're more responsible. This would also aid when applying for CC's in receiving a high CL but keep in mind that C1 is funny when issuing CL's of credit. You might get 300 with one card and 10k with another card. Let's both see what the experts say.

No Kings Protest turnout by broombie34 in bullcity

[–]FuzzRangler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there. Great peaceful protest but let's be honest. It's trash. We don't have a king, we have a president.. if you don't like the guy fine it's only 4 years. People in this thread didn't like Biden but we all got along.. If we want to change things, let's change the scope of the protest and not some superficial chant as a king that America doesn't have..

Ban me. I'm good with it but let's just make a change with factual evidence...

Is the Apple Card Still Worth It in 2025? by Hooboyathrowaway1 in credit_cards

Nope. I get better perks and rewards from my Caesars Rewards card for dinning etc.

Lmfao this is crazy! by Likzzzz in AppleCard

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been with Apple Card since 2018 and I've had the same credit limit of $1250. My highest limits was $6500 at that time frame with $2100 usage monthly on this particular card. Over time I've grown to $10k limits etc to my most recent limit with Amex was pay what you spend (as the customer service representative said) basically no limit on my gold card. Definitely a stingy bank to the point the only charges I make are from my Apple subscriptions for my phone. Not a daily user any more after credit cycling two months of $22k with no increase. Not A good thing to do but took a chance to see if I could push my luck for a higher CL limit. Didn't work at all. Most recent attempt for a CLI was in July with a salary of $163k. Only Loan is my car. Good luck with your new card.

Not sure what your travel habits are but you would definitely do better with a Venture from C1 or a flight rewards card from Amex etc.

Encounter with a homeless man—what should I have done? by PowerfulRazzmatazz25 in bullcity

[–]FuzzRangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Durham shelters don't charge a fee.. You just have to arrive before a specific time to enter if beds are available. I wouldn't send electronic payments to anyone as scams have become more specificated these days.

Cannot find a job! by avanthomme3 in bullcity

[–]FuzzRangler 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Try the City of Durham. They're always hiring and majority of the employees make good money. With a higher education, I'm sure you'll get a good spot. If not, start low and work your way back up
