Starting Score: 560
BUT, I really think you should hit the garden now. I've read/been a part of all of your threads about apping and you must have opened 11 or 12 accounts in the past month or two. I don't want you to start getting hit with AA for too many new accounts by anyone, nor do I want you to end up just getting addicted and sending in new appa every day and end up over your head.
Congrats, Good Luck, Use It Well.

Why didn't you try for a real Amex?
I cannot believe your fico score has not been hammered by now with all the new cards. I swear to gawd if you go for the real Amex and get approved, I am applying now instead of waiting until March ..lol!!!
Congrats!

Thanks for the congrats everyone! I really am going into the garden to stay now. I was determined to garden but honestly, getting that preapproval in the mail was just too much temptation for me. I kept laying it to the side but it was all I could think about and it consumed me. I do not regret getting the card because I honestly believe that it will help take the credit limits on the my other cards to where I want them to be. But, I will be stronger when the next preapproval comes in. I have a good array of cards and they all serve a purpose for me. 
Snowkitty is the new Appbar 
Congrats on your success Snowkitty
