3 new GE cards, 70 point FICO jump

ok, thanks to the info on this forum, i applied for GE cards to diversify my credit.  applied/accepted for Lowes, Amazon, Chevron.  previously, i only had 2 closed installment loans, and a 500cl secured visa from my CU.   signed up for scorewatch, found this community, and in one week, my EQ jumped from 623 to 690.   reducing util was probably part of the jump, but im blown away, so i had to post!   wooo hooooo, yiiippppeeeeee!
