Care credit - AE - BOA - Navchek success

Only been in the garden for just under three months after opening several new cards, and came out to apply for care credit requested 12000 gave me 11500 - BOA travel card $10,000 Navcheck $10,000 and I log into my American Eagle and the upgrade to Visa offer came up :-) limit was just $700, when I accepted offer it gave me $4000 Smiley Happy had the card for 5 years, had just 150.00 limit until last few months whereby I have been requesting increases.  I read on here you need a limit of $2000 to upgrade, so just wanted to share that its not necessarily true.

Anyway, I really need therapy because applying all the time isn't good, I currently have 92 INQ on my EQ in the last two years Smiley Sad((  The only card I want now is the chase SP its currently in review, pretty sure it's declined, I wont even bother calling backdoor number with all my INQ lol.  Will come out of garden in 6 months to re-apply...

what? 

 

Congrats on the cards. 

 

are the inq due to apps on cards only? 

are you drapping? 

 

buddy put the pen/keyboard down and think about what your doing. 

 

The good thing is that I think with those cards you should be set for the next 2 years when all of those fall off. 

Just use the cards and pay them off and don't app for anything unless you need it to survive the zombie apocalypse. 

Then watch your score rise from aaoa/ and inq aging/ falling off. 

 

Good luck and good riddance.

Re: Care credit - AE - BOA - Navchek success

the 92 INQ are total for the last two years. Mixture of apping and CLI requests.  My score isn't that bad considering (EQ 722) ? I don't carry any revolving debt, I PIF all my cards.  I only find the INQ become an issue for the first three months after an App spree :-) other than that they don't seem to do me any harm, apart from a few score points).  I think if I carried alot of debt or maxed out my cards creditors would be cautious but they see I PIF.

My TU and EX are better. TU only has 20 and EX 19 in the last two years.  Everyone just likes to pull EQ for me.

Re: Care credit - AE - BOA - Navchek success

well congrats to that. you must have a long aaoa? 

 

mine is 8 months(due to new cards) 2 are at 2 years. 

like i stated i have 22 inq all across 3 reports (one inq falls off on friday woo!) i have 2 more falling off in the next few months. 

other then that they are all new. 6 from feb and the rest june-aug of this year. 

 

my score is 690's so letting pass time my aaoa will grow and as inq age off my score will reflect good. 

 

is that including soft inq? it just seems crazy to be pulled 90 times on one report... 

i guess i should ask chase for that cli earlier.... (if i wasnt in the garden) 

but i guess if i get approved for bce/true earnings i guess id be out of the garden anyways.

Re: Care credit - AE - BOA - Navchek success

AAOA is 3 yrs... Luckily FICO doesn't take into account inquiry's over a year and many of the lenders I have come across don't seem  take account after around 3 months, especially if no new account was opened as a result of that inquiry.   Only 18 of those inquiries are in the last 6 months from an app spree in July mostly, and October.  Every lender I app for seems to pull EQ!!! which really puts a stink during app spree time.  I have froze my report again today and will wait  until 3 months for when I will revisit my wishlist :-)
