Can't believe I resisted.....

[Anonymous]

In my rebuilding days I did all those SCT cards and still have a few I let age to two years before I close.  I've been trying to garden.  I went to buy a few things from Modell's and I had a pop up for a Modell's VISA (although I saw the apr listed both the modells visa and store card so i was suspect if i'd even get the visa to begin with), but I filled out the whole prescreened app and right before I hit "submit," I sat there managed to find the will in me to not hit it and instead hit "no thanks," and just bought it with my Capital One card.  

Not a big deal to most but a huge deal for me.

I did the same thing a few weeks ago with the Overstock pop-up. I swear it felt like I stared at that screen for about an hour debating whether or not I should hit the submit button. It was so hard to click "no thanks."

Thanks everyone, felt great.  Been several months since I've apped and I haven't gone this long without apping since I started rebuilding.  I just need to hit that one year mark at least.  

I would like to finally dump some secured cards soon though lol.
