Credit Cards

[creditnocash]

ive been okay. 

i took the pre approval for greater gains since i knew once best buy reported my holiday shopping i wouldnt have gotten it, 

no new inquries but once the new account hits my aaoa will take a smaller hit. 

ill be pulling my reports in jan after i put in apps for costco amex that i will likely get denied for. (due to low aaoa)

now just to ask chase to match that limit and make my freedom a visa sig! from a 500 to 5000 yeah right in about 5 months. 

5k card with no inquiry is ok with me. 

back to the garden it is.

btw also tempted to app for amex but afraid of getting approved and not getting the year backdate... hmmm

most likely will see denied due to zync.

Still in the garden...have not app'd since February  Still can't believe it's coming up on a year since I last applied for something --that's unheard of for me lol. 

Right now I'm waiting to start my career...just graduated a couple months ago. Once I get my career going I'm going to app for that elusive AMEX BCE and hopefully get a nice fat CL to go along with it. Other than that I'm probably just going to request some CLI's on some of my lower cards. I'm pretty content with the cards I have; all I want is that BCE. Might also try for a Green if it's only one pull, not sure yet. 

Hopefully in the next couple of months I can exit the garden...maybe at the 1 year mark!

Thanks! I'm excited...been having a little trouble finding a job I want. I think I'm being a little too picky.  But I have one in the works right now, so hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll know something. 

Congrats on grad school! I'll probably go back at some point and get my MBA, but for now I just had to take a break from school for a while. Good luck!

Going in the garden myself...at least until the end of June 2013...that's when most of my inquiries will have fallen off. Realistically, I don't need any further credit for a long while, perhaps I should wait 2 years and not have any inquiries, that would be an excellent accomplishment for me

I'm still in the garden too. No apps until mid2013 for a home.

Yesterday was one month in the garden for me! I feel satisfied since I obtained the Chase Freedom evern though it has a low cl. I have had a few rough times this month because I got a preapproval in the mail and one online. I sweated those out and did not cave into wanting instant gratification! *lol*
