He apped online today for a Lowe's card and was approved for a 300 CL. It's small, but I understand that if treated right, Lowe's grows very nicely. He buys small items from Lowe's quite often and will make certain that it gets PIF as soon as charges hit (oh, I LOVE the days of online banking and ecommerce... it makes it SO MUCH EASIER to keep track of accounts and pay them quickly than it was back in ye olde paper days!!!). Anyway, we have some minor house projects coming up in the fall, so apping for the card gives us some time for a CLI or two to kick in before doing anything that requires spending more than $300 -- still with the principle of PIF.
Point is, he should be able to use this card for both himself and our family for a long time, he'll get good use out of it and it will grow with him. He started rebuilding this year, and this brings him to three cards in his own name: BBRZMC, Care Credit and now Lowe's. He should be good for a while to sit tight and let everything age.
