Their secured Quicksilver never graduated, but about ten months later they were approved for a Savor and a VentureOne, after which they closed the secured card.

They opened the Boundless a month before the flash points offer appeared and feel the larger points bonus is much better than the free night certificates they took.

They opened the secured card earlier this year, had its limit raised automatically after a few months, and it later graduated to unsecured without a request. They paid on time and kept utilization low.

They use a VentureOne as their own starter card, paying it off in full every month, mainly to earn some miles on regular spending instead of nothing.

They opened a Quicksilver expecting a sign-up bonus after meeting the spend requirement, never received it, and support told them there is no bonus on their version of the card.
