Venture, QS, SallieMae, BofA - i think we are set for a while

My wife had been waiting for the recent balances we paid off for her to report. We checked her reports today and they had posted. Her scores were in the 715-725 range.

 

We took the plunge and apped and got the following results:

 

Venture: 20K

QS: 10K

Sallie Mae: 4.5K

BofA cash rewards: 1K

Citi double cash: denied (approved after recon).

 

We are truly excited. Lot of lessons learned through the community and forum here.

 

UPDATE: Well we reconed Citi and got APPROVED !!!! So excited. They approved us for a starting limit of 3K which is good enough for now.

Congratulations! Call the recon line for both BofA & Barclay and ask them to reconsider their starting limits on those cards. Odds are, they'll give you more and they will most definitely use the same HP!

 

Good Luck!
