Wow I haven't been here in a long time! But I thought I'd share my credit excitement! 

 

1. BCE approval! You might remember that I put off applying for the BCE for a long time because I was worried about getting a crappy initial CL. Well, I finally pulled the trigger and they gave me $9,000!

 

@I actually finally just went ahead with it because I got an email offering $250 Reward Dollars after reaching $1000 in purchases after 3 months.....unfortunately the email didn't have a working link and it didn't come with an RSVP code. Smiley Sad Phone and Secure Message CSRs were clueless, but I finally got some help from a lovely person named Rachel at @AskAmex on twitter who said they could honor the offer. I just reached the $1000 marker, so I'm crossing my fingers! 

 

2. The magical gold box o' offers on the PenFed website offered a $22,000 increase on my Travel Rewards Amex. I didn't believe it at first.....but the available credit in my account now states $36,000. Unbelievable! I was shaking when it went thru! Smiley Very Happy


Congrats on your success Smiley Happy

Every quarter on the accounts summary page there's a gold box of pre-approvals on the right side. They're usually things like auto/boat loans, but sometimes you get lucky and you're eligible for a CLI or a new credit card. 


Starting Score (07/2011): EQ 706 TU 709
Current Score (6/2013): EQ 740 TU 732 EX 740
Goal Score: 750+ on all 3
