App Spree for 2015

Anonymous · ‎02-15-2015

I am new to myFICO and I love reading the tips and especially the success stories of people who worked hard to get their credit back up to good levels to get great credit cards. After many years of getting my credit to decent levels, I finally jumped in with both feet and applied with 5 credit card companies I always wanted to apply for. First off, my FICO scores were EX 687, EQ 695, TU 700 AAoA 12 yrs, longest acct 21 years before applying. Had 2 Cap One accts, 10 years old with 300 and 500 (closed) amts. Income 60K. To my surprise, I went 5 for 5 on my applications!!!

Amex BCE 4K
Chase SP 5K
Citi AA Plat. Select World MC 3K
Discover it 2.7K
Venture 10K

To say I am happy is an understatement!!! I worked so hard to get my scores up to where I could get a "good" card, but to receive these were incredible. Time to garden some and get my FICOs 800 across the board

Good luck to everyone and glad to be here. Hope to learn alot!!!

I am a flight attendant for a major carrier (can tell by the cards). Travel a great deal obviously and dine out alot. I believe I can do it

With your income you should be able to get the $12k easily. It will be up to you on how much you want to push the envelope at 181 days though! Good luck & congratulations again!
