I've never had this issue before till the end of April, I go and share a tab and my entire chrome browser closes on me. It's really frustrating this keeps happening when I'm in client meetings.
I've tried restarting, I've tried completely shutting down, but this issue still seems to be persistent.
Unsure what else to do.
Todoist has finally added integration with Claude that doesn't break every other day!!!
😭😭 I don't want to see anyone else mention they lost access because they didn't have recovery's in place. 😂🫣
So I want to share my experience with the Fidelity credit card because honestly it's been a bit of a ride.
When I applied, I had an 820 credit score, zero negative marks, solid FICO across the board, and I was genuinely excited about this card. The whole "automatically invests your cashback" thing is a no-brainer for me (I had put off applying for this card for several months until I received a mailer with a sign up bonus and 0% APR for 12 months). So you can imagine my disappointment when I got approved for a $500 limit. $500. That's it. It immediately became my lowest card out of the 5 I have, and there was basically no way I could use it as a daily driver at that point.
I really wanted this to be my main 2% card, so I called the reconsideration line pretty quickly after opening it to see if they'd take another look. They did, but it came with a hard pull, so after that I just kind of backed off and ended up opening the Citi Double Cash in the meantime to fill that 2% gap (and I've heard the nightmare stories behind Citi, so I'm not really positive on keeping them long term).
Fast forward about a year and after my last month's statement, I finally got an automatic CLI, which was nice (I know I could've manually done this earlier, but I just didn't want that hard pull again). I called in today to ask if I could push for another increase on top of that and they told me I need to wait at least 30 days before requesting one myself. And to top it off, the rep I spoke with when I asked if it would be a hard or soft pull (as I've been hearing some rumors they are doing soft pulls) the rep didn't even know the difference between a hard pull and a soft pull. I had to explain it to him. At that point I just had to laugh (not at him), but it's also kind of frustrating when you're trying to have a real conversation about your credit and the person on the other end doesn't have a baseline understanding of how it works.
So here's where I'm at: I'm trying to consolidate down to two cards and I really want this to be one of them. It makes total sense on paper, the 2% plus the automatic investing is genuinely useful for me. But it's still my lowest limit card and I can't really make it my daily driver like this without credit cycling and I know that's bad to do.
Has anyone else dealt with this? How did you actually get your limit to a usable place with Fidelity/Elan? Any tips would be appreciated because I'm kind of at a loss here and I don't want to close the card only to potentially be brought back to square one.
