<prompt> Human: This has been a month-long process. The entire time I have felt played, underhanded, and straight up lied to. I will make it as brief as possible, but still cover all the details. I want to know what is my fault and what isnt.My profile: I am employed full time making 11hr. I make anywhere between 17-21,000 a year. I live on my own. I am 21. I am also a full time student. Besides Federal Student Loans and a Macy card, I have only the line of credit in question here. My student loans are issued to me. I dont have any co-signers, but I make all my payments on time.I have a scholarship to study abroad to Argentina. The only thing I need to do is pay for the flight. The flight is about 1200 dollars depending on the day, but will approach 1500-2000 dollars the longer I wait.I went to the bank, Wells Fargo, and asked to take out a student loan toward the trip. They told me that I cannot do that, because Student Loans have to be dispersed via the school, and I wouldnt get the money in time to finance the flight. So, the teller recommend I take out a credit card for the cost of the flight. I asked if it would be enough to cover and she said I dont see why it wouldnt. If its not, just call back and we can negotiate the limit.So the credit line opens up, I get the card, and I notice that the credit I have been given is only for 1000. Not enough for the flight. I decided to NOT activate the card at all until I can be sure it can cover my expenses. I only want to use this card for this flight.I called back on the 19th to negotiate the limit and they gave me. I explained the situation, what I was paying for, and the guy on the phone put in a request to raise my limit to 1500.Two days later, I called back to check on it, and they told me I was denied. The reason was this was my only line of credit. I explained that I have had my own place for a year, pay every bill on time, have student loans and the macys card that I make payments to. The lady on the phone said Those dont count. I said, Sure. But what Im trying to do is paint a picture. I can pay it back. The issue I have is not how much Im given--Im trying to make an investment here. Youre giving to my education, I get smarter, more successful, and get a better job. I am fully employed, and I dont see the major issue here. Sure, its my first line of actual credit, but I have the record to show I can be trusted with it.She waited for a few moments then said, Is there anything else I can help you with, sir? really sternly. I said Im just gonna get rid of the card. You can close the account.She said, Sir, if you do that it will show up on your credit score.I said, I never activated it.She said, Uhm. It was activated on the 19th.I never authorized, or was asked to authorize, activating the card. I specifically told the customer service rep. to NOT activate the card. She told me that theres nothing she can do and offered to transfer me back to Wells Fargo to talk about the accidental activation. I was in tears by this point and just hung up.I have to book this flight. I dont know what I can or should do. I just need this limit raised. I just want the opportunity to talk to somebody. I feel like if I were a reckless spender theyd be more interested in giving me credit. I dont have much time. This process has eaten up a month and I need to book this flight before the prices raise. I have a scholarship. I am very proud of it. I just need this one purchase.Where do I start? TL;DR: I need a credit limit raised but I am being told its impossible.  <response>: The activation is only a security measure in case someone stole your mail containing the card. The account is already open.Try getting a second card and split the payment between the two. Or contact your school and see if they can help.
