I think some of these banks are fukking with me.

My lowest credit score on all 3 bureaus is 724. I had the Apple Credit card for almost 2 years and never used it. I applied for it when i was gonna buy another Macbook and then ended up buying one cash. Anyway my iPad broke and they couldnt repair it so i decided to upgrade to an iPad Pro and got my niece a new one while i was at it. Since i had the card i went ahead and used it since it was no interest for 12 months.

The same day while i was out i decided to go shopping for a few things and used the same card. I missed a payment by one day and they charged me a late fee. So i logged in to check when the date is usually due so i can have my bank make weekly automatic payments. Little did i know the fukking interest rate on that shyt was over 20%. None of my other cards are over 14% . I called Barclay (apple card company) and ask them to lower my interest rate and while these bums lowered it to 16% too because of my good credit these fukkas acted as if they were doing em a huge favor.

I feel like ive been taking Ls the last 3 years by not paying attention to this shyt. My girl has some dope CCs with dope rewards but she's rich and typically pays her balance off within a month.

I have a Citibank Costco Visa where I think the interest rate is like 27%. I don't care. I only keep CC's for emergencies and shyt that I have the cash to pay back immediately so I can get the cashback rewards. I also have that Apple card. I've never paid a penny in CC interest in my life.

Breh... I believe Barclay/Apple was charging me something like 24 or 27% too. I cant recall the exact number. I called them immediately and asked why and then asked them to reduce it. That broad acted like she was doing me a huge favor like she was donating her eggs to bring it down for me.

I have 5 credit cards

And only use 1 constantly...

The other cards are locked up. I might pulled them out to buy a pack of gum just to keep them active

that card gives you double points for restaurants and triple for apple purchases. that's the only time I use it. especially if I was going to make that purchase originally with my debit card.

5 seems like a lot. I only have 3.
  1. Apple Visa (Barclay)
  2. USAA American Express
  3. American Airlines Master Card (Citi) for the travel rewards
Edit: I take that back. I also have Macy's card, an Ashley Furniture card and a Brandsmart card. Those are store cards which I use to shop at the specific stores but typically pay them off quickly
