Rumor Was True Rumors have circulated for weeks now that Simon corporate was going to increase the daily debit/gift card purchase limits from $10,000 to $25,000.

Latest Round of Credit Card Applications?

One Foot Out, Two Back In I tried to hold out, but just couldn’t help myself. After my last round of credit card applications, I figured I was (largely) done applying for rewards cards for the next two years. During that 2 year wait, I thought I could sneak in a few business rewards card
