Scary Halloween App Spree-My lucky day!

I am SO excited!

 

I decided to do a yearly app spree but not go completely crazy. The results:

 

Barclaycard Arrival World MasterCard - Instant approval for 10K.

 

I tried to get something from my Cap One Platinum card but they wouldn't budge on anything. Their suggesstion was that I wait for an upgrade offer from them. I informed them I had already been told I would be upgraded around Oct. 2013, but they just said, "We have no offers at this time". Don't need a HP from you, Cap One

 

The real shocker was I called Chase for a CLI on my CSP and when asked what limit I would like, I threw out a CL of 15K. I never thought I would get it as I know Chase is conservative with their CLI's. After being transferred to a specialist who asked some questions, she came back on the phone and said my CL had been increased from 6.5K to 15K. I couldn't believe it!

 

I think I'll dress up as a smiling Chase bank employee for Halloween just to show them my complete gratitude!

 

By the way, just for those that have this card, they have just implemented a chip and sign card.

 

And, yes, I will be joining the garden!

 

Happy Halloween to everyone!!!

Congarts on the new card 

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?
