Nothing wrong with that.
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I literally stalked/lurked this forum for a good year before I made my account. Still learning new things every day! I still remember four years ago when I was jumping up & down over my $300 limit Kay Jeweler's approval, 
I'm very glad that there are some benefits to the app sprees because when I did mine this week, I had no idea. (I know, bad) I got lucky on a 5 card spree and a HP for a CLI. Honestly, it was kind of a snowball effect. I got an auto cli from 3k to 6k making it my highest CL on my citi Amex which got me to thinking - why not, I'll see if I have any luck on the Amex BCP, which is a card I've wanted for quite some time. I was approved then when I found out my cli was 11k, I almost fell out of my chair. Then that just got me rolling - I couldn't stop! It did kind of have a casino-like rush. I had read a lot of love about the CSP so i apped for that one too. And I got a CL of $5k! I finally stopped when I got a pending review on a HP for a CLI on my Chase Amazon. I did back door them and get the cli though. Now I'm seriously in the garden and trying to grow what I have and weed out what I don't need. But it was such a rush! Especially when they were all getting approved instantly with non-toy limits. All of the new apps were 5-6k CL w the exception of 11k for the BCP. Grant it I'm sure my score will take a hit for all those apps but its comforting to know that they will all age at the same time. But I'm so glad that this forum is here to offer its support and knowledge for us credit newbs! I'm soooo done with any more app sprees though.
