Don't become an app addict.

Score drop.JPG

 

This chart is from credit karma, but it still paints a pretty good picture. My credit score prior to joining the board in October of 2012 was 744. By November I managed to app it down to 668.

Re: Don't become an app addict.

It's the computer

 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

LOL.  Totally agree Dustink.  Hey, that almost looks like that old Moon Patrol (arcade) game, especially that dip from Oct-Nov.  Seems like it's creeping up though, albeit slowly Smiley Happy

There is always something else out there too app for...haha, I will try to resist the temptation.

 

Yeah, hopefully they will go up and stay up. Since I have so many lines early on, it should create a pretty good AAoA foundation.

Yeah, probably. I bet if it all had to be paper apps, it would be a whole different picture.
