happy but could be happier

was disappointed to hear that in order to get a credit line increase i have to do a full new application. after having the card for 4 yrs always paying on time the credit limit has never been increased so i will likely have to look for a better card with a higher credit limit even though im not unhappy with commerce and would prefer to keep it in house

Doesn't increase credit

I've had this account longer than any other card I have and I've never gotten a increase in credit! My credit score has never been lower than 725 and presently it's 754. I've paid this card off several times over a 9 year period! My other credit cards have increased at least once a year.

Could use higher credit line

Most of the time I use the credit card for business. Recently I charged more than limit on accident. The hold on large payments is frustrating also.

An OK card for purchases: nothing special

This card is OK for making purchases, but it is nothing special compared to other card offerings from other sources. The reward points are less than satisfactory compared to other cards, and the gifts offered for points are disappointing.

Disclosures:

  1. A Cash Back redemption is applied as a statement credit. The statement credit will reduce your balance, but you are still required to make at least your minimum payment. Values for non-cash back redemption items such as merchandise, gift cards, and travel may vary. Visit commercebank.com/cashrewardsterms for full rewards program details.

  2. Please note that merchants self-select the category in which transactions will be listed and some merchants may be owned by other companies, therefore transactions may not be counted in the category you might expect. Purchases made using Near Field Communication (NFC), virtual wallets, or similar technology may not be eligible for bonus points. Offer cannot be combined with other promotional offers or World Elite MasterCard® points earned for travel and restaurants.
