New Card

Didn't plan on this one.  Went ring shopping at the new mall that just opened this morning.  Went to three jewelry stores to see what we liked.  Was suprised to see the weddings rings we liked at Kay's Jewelry and because it was the grand opening for the mall they gave an additional 50% off for today only.  Went ahead and applied for their card knowing I would be approved as it seems everyone gets approved at Kay's.  Was blown away that I was approved for $6500!  My largest limit yet.  Don't have planned to use it other than the wedding rings which we will pay off before interest hits but the nice limit will be good to help with utiliazation.

Re: New Card

Congrats

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
