That's great, Congrats!
Did you apply for the walmart card online? When I go there it asks me to login or create a walmart.com account before applying. If you did do it online, did you get a pre-approval amount in the application page?

Nice... Very impressive run.

After falling off the wagon while in the garden... And going 2 for 4 on a drapping spree I've finally received my coveted Discover More. And now I'll limp back to the garden.

Re: BEST APP SPREE EVER!!!!!

Congrats.  I have been in the garden for 3 months now I have not apped since I got my Barclays Reward card. 

 

I have called for increases, none did a hard pull.  I got my Walmart card doubled from $500 and my Belks card from $200 to $800.  I find the Belks increases funny as I have never actually used the card.  Household said no not until 6 months from the last increase.  Marathon Visa said no that I have to wait until 6 months.  I did not ask on my Bealls or Marathon gas card, but I might ask on the gas card soon.  They are however good anyway at giving increases every few months. 

 

There are really only two cards that I want in the future anyway; Target and a good rewards card with a low interest rate.  I don't care from who, although I think I would like an Amex, Discover, PNC, or Chase card.  (PNC is who I bank with and I guess it would be handy to have overdraft just in case.)

 

I will however just sit in this garden for a while and keep asking Capone for a CLI, just for the humor of asking for it.  I doubt I will ever get it, it is Capital One and the limit has been $500 for two years.  Although I did file with the Better Business Bureau just to see what would happen.  Funny thing is that I got a call the same day from the 'Office of the President' to tell me they have received my complaint.  They did not review or even look at anything except my phone number before they called.  You could tell from all the noise in the background that the office of the president at Capone is simply just another call center.  Imagine that!  They have three 'offices of the president.'  How can you have 3 of the same offices and expect people to take you seriously?

 

Congrats on your spree.  You did better than I did on my last spree.  I do have a lot of inquiries though and your scores are higher than mine.  My FICO is 689 from Walmart.  Which is free and a good reason to have the card.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.
