Thats what i'm calling the Pizza effect

Ordinarily I would agree with this line of thought but I think for pizza this isn't probably something she needs to hear.

 

I admire the fact that she showed some discipline and restraint in this case. (Better still would have been not apping at all, because as you mentioned, the HP was done, but oh well).

More store cards won't help her though. I for one am happy for her, congrats!

Re: Can you believe I turned down True Value??

You're right that more store cards won't help, which is why the advice of everyone at myfico for the past 90 threads has been to stop apping all together.

the damage to the report (albeit temporary for 2 years) has already be done. I don't think that warrants a congratulations, but that is just my opinion. No one is required to agree with it Smiley Very Happy
