3 for 3 on my App Spree!

SnackTrader — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 15:23:37 GMT

I am astonished. My App Spree is complete with absolutely no hiccups overall. This feels so great! Gardening for 6 months really worked!

I just applied and was Instantly approved for each of the following:

Wednesday - American Express Blue Cash Preferred ($4,500)

Friday - Chase Freedom ($5,000)

Saturday - Citi Forward ($6,500)

American Express and Chase both pulled EX, but I'm not sure about Citi yet.

Thanks for the help everyone! Maybe I will go back to the Garden earlier than I expected...

I know it is hard to keep tabs on these things, sorry I didn't give more information. This should help:

Congratulations! It's a great feeling! I just went 3 for 3 as well and got instant approvals for all 3:

Wednesday: capital one venture 10k, chase sapphire preferred 5k

friday: citi simplicity 2k

i wonder why the last one has such a low amount, though...

so addicting but I'm gonna stop here.

Congrats! I recently went on an Amex app spree, and was very suprised to be approved for all three! (Check my sig!) Still waiting on Captial One for their VentureOne card, but I highly doubt I will be approved for it...... :(

Congrats to the others on their app spree successes, and welcome to the forums. There is obviously a ton of information here, so be sure to research before taking next steps.

That's awesome! CONGRATS!

I'm always surprised to see Citi Forward approved. Citi always seems so sensitive in regards to that card.

Just checked my Experian report again and saw that Citi also pulled EX for its approval. I haven't checked any other reports so I can't confirm if any multi-pulls occurred, but I do know that my EX is up to 5 HPs, with three in under three days. Maybe on my next app spree I will try to find EQ and TU pullers.

Barclays Priceline Rewards Visa 2% pulls TU. :smileywink: :smileylol: Seriously though, it would go nicely with your other cards.

Edit to add the Shatner!!! :smileyvery-happy: :smileylol:

Haha - love the picture.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm going to sit tight for a little while. I don't want to worry my creditors by doing too much, too soon and I don't really see any huge gaps in my rewards category at this point. I'll give it a few months and see where these cards take me.
