Re: Dang it.... I need to garden, but so hard

First, I don't want or need anymore cards, Second, the way that I have learned to deal with the "itch" is soft pull increases.  That is just as gratifying and it doesn't hurt your gardening!  I'm in the garden for a while and I plan to stay there!! LOL!

Re: Dang it.... I need to garden, but so hard

Eventually you"ll start getting denied after so many approvals all in a small period of time. (Not to sound harsh) but that Is what got me to stop apping and get my butt into gardening. After so many approvals I started getting the denials and that just killed me. Smiley Sad im content with my cards now.

Re: Dang it.... I need to garden, but so hard

Catacam you are not alone, I am in the garden now but I had to learn the hard way most recent that if I ever want to get the "2k-5k instant approvals " like Repo-ed said that I have to STAY in the garden... it's for the better good in the end. Good luck and stay positive Smiley Happy

Re: Dang it.... I need to garden, but so hard

You've got to flip your thinking.  Do not think of all the cards you won't be able to have if you garden think about the one you will get if you do.

 

What is your dream card and with what limit?  Once you figure this out research through the forum what you need to get to that card, and start your work. 

 

Maybe its the AMEX BCP, or the CSP. Both require low inquires (less then 4 in 2 years typically). In order to get either of these cards you will need high credit limits (over 5 K) on premium cards.  Take a look at your file and see how you can get to there approval levels, and make that work take place of achieve new credit.

 

As they say ideals hands...........

 

Best wishes.
