kellbell's review: 
Um, I have had this card for about 2 months. My initial credit limit was $300.00 w/ a $79.00 AF. I paid $50.00 of the AF and I get my second statement today. When I logged in...$600.00 LIMIT! It's not my highest limit, but it sure was a nice surprise! I thought HSBC was stingy with their CLI's! I guess I'll take this card out of the sock drawer!

HSBC gets stingy after the consumer with this card reaches $1,000 limit.

Congrats! Just curious, were you in the same boat as me with the store card application (see my previous post)... Also, did you make any purchases on the card? Perhaps they are doing that so that you will make a purchase on the account.

I too wanted the store card. I thought while I am on a roll after walmart I would try. Well I was declined for the store card but approved for the m/c with the $59 a/f. I don't know what my cl is but the 800 number to call customer service is the same one for Orchard. I called it and it began telling me my balance for my Orchard card. I hope I haven't messed things up. I will try later since it is 4:00 am and there aren't any csr's working anyway. Don't know my FICO either. Good night!
