The Credit Game..

Just got an email from Sweetwater about my SW Credit Card. They said since I haven't bought anything in 11 months, they are going to REDUCE my credit line because I haven't spent any money. My balance is ZERO by the way. I've spent probably 10k at that place with that card, but because I haven't fell into their trap, the threats have started..

Reducing your available credit hurts your credit score.. Right now my FICO is MINT..
Looks like a Tuner Pedal is in my future.. Motherfuckers..

Id tell them to pound sand.
Macy's cancelled my card for inactive.

But yea if you cancel or reduce cards it triggers AI alarms that you may be in financial trouble

They cant understand that either you no longer want the card of need a high credit limit

I put the lowest limit available on all my cards.
Why? Because if the card gets stolen theyll only get so far

Buy a $6000 Les Paul, and keep returning them over and over

A few years back I bought another Multiscale, but the Fretboard was cut wrong, so the Frets and the Nut were in the wrong spot. No matter what you did to the Intonation, chords would not play in tune. They knew but didn't admit it. They offered to give me another one and it was all around a shittier example with the same problems..

They pushed back so hard and then offered me a like 100 bucks to take it to a Luthier to fix it. Pff, that doesn't even cover walking in the door.. Fuck you gimme my money back..
