    Fantastic!

    It can't hurt to ask, and in this case, it worked out for you

    The only one that wouldn't do it was Home Depot. They said they couldn't because of policy or some other mumbo jumbo.

    That is fabulous! I think I might try calling our credit cards to see if we could get a lower interest rate. They most they can say is no, but they could also save us money too.

    I should try this. I keep getting "For being a loyal customer.... We're raising your limit!" How about "For being a loyal customer, lower my rate!?!?!?"
