Electronic vs. Paper

I still prefer paper statements, and now that all the stuff is online, it’s difficult or impossible to get all the benefits that way, though it seems that account alerts should be automatically sent to my email or text. I also preferred the shorter confirmation numbers on transactions, which I do over the phone. Now I have to repeat the confirmation message half a dozen times to catch it all as I record it.

No auto increase

This credit card would be better if you could request a credit limit or automatically receive an increase based on credit history. Having to apply for a new credit card, then possibly have them combined is a waste on hard inquiries when the company already has the data readily available to it.

Disappointed

Twice in 6 months. I didn’t receive a bill. Then you charge me with late fees. I have multiple cards and this one is the only one. I have trouble with. When I closed my account. After waiting over a hour. Talking to different people. I told to just keep my $60 in rewards. Wasn’t going to deal with your company any longer
