Who Here Has Had The Biggest App Spree???

Tommy5746 — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 17:26:31 GMT

I think we have all at one point or another gone on an app spree... My question is, who here has gone on the BIGGEST app spree...

1.How many cards did you apply for in 1 day..

2.How many cards were you approved for/delcined that day

3.What was the total amount of credit extended to you between all the cards you were approved for

8 is nothing, LOL!

I've read far bigger sprees than 8 on here but don't know if the members still post or will come clean. :)

The most I've heard is 15 from jsickz although it wasn't in one shot but rather over the course of a few months I think.

The only new card I applied for was a Barlay's Rind Card at $20K.

I applied for four hard pulls for CLI's four seperate cards and got them all. To the tune of $60,00K. Including one pull for two Chase accounts.

I feel like such a lightweight!

I have never apped for two things on the same day. :smileyembarrassed: Each yes answer emboldened me try another one.

I added 6 new cards over about three months, plus upgraded Blue to BCP.

I'm fresh off a chapter 7 and would love to go on an app spree, but I'm not a fan of the inquiries. Guess that's a part of the game.

Inq's matter... but not as much as you probably think... There have been plenty of people on here with 20+ inqs on their report getting approved for prime cards!
