Pop up jail, sorry homie

sameeeeee. 815 credit score but they’ve denied my last two applications. guess it’s indicative of where the economy is heading

Same! Great credit, great history, good income etc, they just don’t like the points game :(

Do they have something like the 5/24 rule? Are they not approving you for cards, or approving you but with no sign up bonus?

Approving with no sub

They are definitely cracking down on folks who will reap the SUB and benefits but are financially responsible enough to not generate interests

I'm not in sales per se but I manage my company's largest wholesale account ($150 million per/yr account). It's a great company, awesome culture, good benefits, flexibility, but the pay is not great ($60K/yr). All the pros outweighed the mediocre pay, but now with inflation rising, my paycheck isn't going as far and I'm having a really hard time trying to figure out if I should start looking elsewhere or if I should ask my boss for a raise.
