Have a great evening,

Oh my god, yum! I hope the seafood in Cancun is good. I'm from New England so I'm completely spoiled, and living in Los Angeles now I'm deprived. Fingers crossed.

9 months and feeling fine. Going to Cancun on Saturday and plan to rack up some sweet, sweet MR points while catching some rays. Scores have ticked up a couple of points in the last month, I expect to see a few more points when I hit the year mark since my post-rebuild app spree.
During my credit hell time period and subsequent rebuild starting in the 570s, this seemed so far away. I always dreamed of being in a place where my scores were good, I didn't need anything, and felt I could make my credit cards work for me. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.
Have a fantastic time and enjoy Cancun! Congratulations on your hard work and significant progress!
I am sure that your success story will inspire others.

I am starting over, in past posts I said that at some point I was going to app for a business card, I was at my Chase branch today and I had an offer for Ink Plus.
Congrats driftless!! From what I understand, having the Ink will help you redeem your Freedom points at a much better value!
This is why we garden

Yes, and I received two, not one, pre-qualified offers for PRG today as well. So now I have one more card than I wanted. Oh well. So now my wife and I have exactly the same cards, except she has the green Amex. We are going to concentrate our purchase with Chase for the most part.
That is really nice re/ the prequals, driftless. Chase is a wonderful lender as well.
That's right, I thought that PRG looked shiny and new in that siggy lol
I'm also getting my pole vault equipment ready, but I will let everyone know when the news breaks 
I am officially back in the Garden my friends.....the goal is the same, get my credit in shape to purchase a home!
Credit cards maxed (55k), score steadily dropping, there is no other place I should be. I started to join the club a few weeks ago, but I was also trying to find a way to BT my way out of paying so much interest each month. I joined PSECU last month and was going for PenFed until I read the awesome thread Baller created. Long story short, in the past two years, I managed to max out my credit cards traveling and overspending. Goodtimes over and now its time to pay the piper.
In addition to the maxed cards, I have 30k in personal loans as well as 140k in student loans. Inquiries as follows EQ - 12 EX - 8 TU - 2. I have a paid collection from January 2016 that should be removed before the end of this month. I have a 30 day late (June 2015) reporting to all three CRA and a 30-day late (Oct 2015) reporting to EQ and TU only.
I will be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for at least the next six months, so I look forward to any meals offered in the Garden.
