Thank you!

Decided to press my luck with Synchrony, they haven't shown me any love since discharge.  Today they finally approved me for an Amazon card ($800) and Care Credit ($800).  I won't use Care Credit much, but I look at it as getting my foot in the door.  Amazon, well, that could be disastrous. Smiley Happy

 

I've achieved nearly $11,000 available revolving credit in the seven months post discharge, honestly this is more revolving credit than I have ever had.  It's exiting to see my rebuild working so well.  I think it's time to garden though.  I have several major cards, just had my first auto CLI on one and have several store cards.  Some of the cards I have I don't even want any longer (mainly Fingerhut and HSN), so I'll just stuff them in the safe and use them once a year or so, just to keep them active.

 

None of this would have been possible without you guys.  Thank you for everything you have taught me and for everything I will continue to learn!

NFCU Rewards - $18,000, NFCU Signature - $18,000, NFCU LOC - $15,000, Care Credit - $7,700, Lowe's - $6,400, Capital One QS - $5,000, Walmart - $5,000, Amazon - $4,000

Re: Thank you!

I can relate. I appreciate everyone here for leading me in a good direction. My wife and I are now up to over $40k in CLs. Now we just have to make sure we manage them properly and not get ourselves back in trouble.
