Hit 2 months on Saturday!
Unfortunately got some bad news as well. Had a collection hit my report from DirecTV (they were billing me when I had no service a few years back). Been dealing with them for a while. Going to need to take time away from my vacation next week to call and get all that finalized.

Hopefully you guys are doing good! I got an email from Discover letting me know that they decided to give me a 500$ increase (it was totally unexpected, but I'll take it.) Other then that, everything is well. I'm going to be having a very busy couple of months.
Good to hear. How long did it take for them to give you that increase?
Popamode- I Initially applied and got the card in October 2012. I've spend nearly 5k since then on it, and now finally got it. So almost 20 months since I opened it.
Checking in for June! Waiting for my new cards to report this month!

Yeah, I have been putting a lot on the Amex to get to the $1000 spend for the 15000 Bonus. I have a little over $300 left to go. But I need to get it paid down to 20% by first statement, well second as they cut my first at 2 weeks in but did not report. I have already made one payment but I will make a second before statement is cut.
My Barclay SM only has 3% on it and my Target about the same. I am going to pay my Target off before first statement (CSR told me when that would be) but I am going to let my SM build for a while since they seem to like reporting balances. I'll switch from my AMEX card to SM for a while after I hit my bonus. My Groceries and Gas should put me there this week I guess.
