App Spree Success!

[1083690]

I've been wanting to do an app spree for a while to add some cards to the stable since I only had 3, but wanted to wait until I got approved for an auto loan at DCU first. 

I was going to wait until I paid off the balance on my cards which amounted to @ 25% util, but against better reasoning I took the gamble and got the following results.

So in chronological order:

1. 4/15 - DCU Auto Loan - $30K
2. 4/15 - DCU Platinum Visa - $7.5K
3. 4/16 - AMEX BCP - $11K (I couldn't believe it. This was my largest CL to date and am excited at the 3X CLI in 61 days)
4. 4/16 - SallieMae World - $4K (Dissapointed at low CL, and contemplated stopping the app spree at this point.......ok maybe not....not a denial yet)
5. 4/16 - Chase Freedom - $9K (Very pleased at the CL. An hour went by and I remembered I had an invitation pending to #6)
6. 4/16 - Marriott Rewards - $21K (Holy Isht...I can't believe this yet. Largest CL ever)
7. 4/16 - Lowes - $15K (I tought, if I'm going to the garden, I better pick up some gardening tools at Lowes ....got approved online for $3K, immediately called to request $15K ...and approved) <----EDIT

Needles to say, I'm super stoked. 2 years ago I applied for my first non AU cards, started with small CLs that have grown decently from 2K to 7-9K Last year I apped for my first ever Rewards CC (Discover IT)..and now I have a few more 

Not to sound greedy, but I had one more card I wanted to app for: either an AMEX Every Day or the Costco Card (but not today), or the Lowes CC - mostly due to the large starting CL that people report upon recon. I don't know what to do; should I stop now or do 1 final app before going to the garden for a year? 

So now that I've added my 6th and final CC app, off to the garden I go.

Very nice run, grats   IMO 6 new accounts is enough for the moment put the card on your list for the next spree.

Edited my original post to add my final app, a Lowes CC. Originally approved for 3K, but did an immediate CLI request for $15K and it was approved...yay!
