Thanks to this forum, I started with some pretty dismal FICO scores and gradually raised them. As a matter of fact, last May 28th, at least one of my scores was 701 (when I bought my car).
Two years ago, I had no choice but to get a couple of secured cards (2 for a total CL of $500)
Well, I was waiting for this week for over a year. All my baddies fell off and it was time for my spree. I had a pretty good one and now am set to sit back and garden for a year. 
As of yesterday, I now have:
Home Depot: $3000
Capital One MC: $3000
Bank of America Visa: $1500
Walmart: $1200
Amex Blue: $1000
Barclay MC: $750
Thank you very much to everyone that has helped me learn!
Starting Score: EQ = 550; TU = 491(2/10/12)
Congrats, don't forget to go for the 3x CLI on your Amex after 60 days.
Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
Discover IT $17k / US Bank Ace (VSig) $13.5K / US Bank Cash+ (VSig) $13.5k
Very nice!
CONGRATS to you on your very successful 1st App Spree! You did really well and WELCOME to the Garden!!!
Gardening Until Further Notice
Excellent spree OP, congrats to all your success
Congrats on you current app spree!!! Don't forget to call Bank of America and see if you can get that converted to CashRewards for more rewards. Their regular I believe don't offer cashback or points.
