As one of my friends put if, I can get tunnel vision when I have a goal to focus on.  I'm curious how much I can get my scores up after paying down my credit cards to under 10% util.  right now they are at 95%.


Lots of variables but in my scenario, about 100 points. YMMV...

 

If you have a current score power report try the Score Simulator.

You could use the score simulator but I can tell you that you would see a significant increase if you lowered your util.

That's what I'm excited about.  I'm curious to see how much of a change it ends up being.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - July 2013

After my TU spree in 12/31/12 

My score dropped to 647 

Happy to say its now 684

700 club here I come....Yay

 

The down side after my last spree a month ago 

Ex and EQ is probably going to take a hit Smiley Sad

FNBO is already reporting on EX and CS I know Fako only dropped 4 pts

Amex green and Discover have not reported yet

Amex Lowes won't report on personal CR so i'm good thereSmiley Happy

However I know what to do about any drops....garden, garden, garden until the end of the yearSmiley Wink

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?

Is the garden club just in the credit card forums?
