3 for 3 on my App Spree!

Options

‎12-22-2012 07:23 AM

I am astonished.  My App Spree is complete with absolutely no hiccups overall. This feels so great!  Gardening for 6 months really worked!

 

I just applied and was Instantly approved for each of the following:

 

Wednesday - American Express Blue Cash Preferred ($4,500)

Friday - Chase Freedom ($5,000)

Saturday - Citi Forward ($6,500)

 

American Express and Chase both pulled EX, but I'm not sure about Citi yet.

 

Thanks for the help everyone!  Maybe I will go back to the Garden earlier than I expected...

 


In My Wallet: Amex BCP (12/12) $13,500, Cap1 Cash Rewards (6/12) $9,000, Citi Forward (12/12) $6,500, Chase Freedom (12/12) $5,000

In The Garden!

That's awesome! CONGRATS!

 

I'm always surprised to see Citi Forward approved. Citi always seems so sensitive in regards to that card.

The truth is out there...
