Post subject: Anyone know about Fleet and GM cards?


Fleet send me pre approved platinum offer with 0% APR on purchases until 2004 October then 8.99% APR. But I am skeptical about their offers because their variable rate is based on LIBOR. Anyone know about Fleet? And GM send me pre approved offer. Anybody know about GM card too?
But my desirable cards are Capital One No Hassle Platinum and American Express Gold cards. I am still waitng until AMEX and Capital One send their pre-approved offers. Thank you everyone.

Sai,

Household Bank handles the GM card and has a poor reputation although I've had no complaints. They've given me several periodic credit limit increases and no-nonsense balance transfer offers. Unlike some cards, they usually waive the balance transfer fees and give good rates for the life of the loan*. But beware, GM will change the rate if they find a derog on the credit report - and they check every month.

My experience with Fleet was brief. After the intro period my rate went to 14% and I bailed out. But I had no trouble with them and, like GM, they were liberal with the credit limit.

I used to think Household and Fleet were second-class cards but after reading all the complaints about the respectable cards, they don't look so bad. Like any credit card, just use it to your advantage for as long as possible. That Fleet deal looks good.

Post subject: High end credit cards


Thank you for your quick response, Verne. Can you suggest me some high end cards? I don't want many accounts appear on my credit report. And I don't want to open and close the accounts. What do you think Capital One Platinum card and AMEX Gold charge card? My credit history is pretty short__ about two years. But I don't carry the balances. I pay off every month and I think that's why my score is getting higher. Thanks.
