i feel the same, with my zync and 5k card I really don't see myself apping for anything else, until next jan.
i have been saving for a down payment on a house though =) so that is something too look forward too in the next few years.

That's an ouch, but the card was worth getting, so now the only thing to do is sit back and wait for my score to recover. After all, that's one of the things that the Garden is for. So I'm updating the score in my siggy from 749 to 734 and then sitting back and enjoying a Long Island Iced Tea. I'm so grateful for the GC!!!
You have still exceeded your starting scores for 2013 even with the Freedom reporting. Only up from here!!
Thanks so much... I hadn't thought of it like that. Sometimes an outside perspective helps.

Good job! Will be looking to see that shiny silver spade in a few days.
So I did a recon with Barclays on an Apple card i was declined for like two weeks ago and he tells me they want to see 2-3 years post bk payment history. I thought Barclay was 6 months, right? This is all so confusing.
