My last app is around that time too.  And I agree with your method.  I can't count the whole month of July as 'app free' if I apped on July 23.  I need to get through most of October for my next spade.  This way, by the time I have a platinum, if I get there, there will be absolutely no inqs having effect on my score.  It wouldn't be the same if I claimed a platinum and then still had to wait 23 days for my inqs to fall off.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012

Smiley Happy  helps me keep my goals in sight.  want some age on these prime seedlings...then I'm going to close 3 of the 6 cards I hold (2 revolvers, 1 store) once I get enough CLI $$ to balance out the utilization.  Which for me isn't that high anyway,since I'm anal and pretty much PIF EVERYTHING I can...

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012

USAA fako is going up by leaps and bounds.  Just went up 30 points overnight, when one of my credit cards reported a smaller balance.  Hoping to see a FAKO of around 690 once all my card balances report 0.

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012

Had to remove my spade, but for what I consider a good reason.  Had been wanting to close two Orchard Bank cards which only had a limit of $600 each.  I wanted to app for a Chase Freedom and last night I did just that. Was approved with a limit of $3000. In addition, I also received a CLI on my Dillards card to $3000.  I'm very excited by these turn of events and I know that I wouldn't have the knowledge or the confidence if it were not for these forums. I repeat everything I learn to anyone who would listen (mostly just my sister) and she says, "what are you now, some kind of credit guru?" No, not yet but I plan to keep learning everything I can to stay financially healthy. Thanks to everyone who share their stories and offer advice. Day one in the garden....

Re: Garden Club Meeting - October 2012

Checked my Discover account to make sure my payment posted and noticed that they gave me an auto CLI, from $2,000 to $2,750. Needless to say I was quite pleased. Online chat option came up and I decided to press my luck and ask for more. The rep denied me and said I can ask again in 6 months. Couldn't hurt to try. Smiley Happy

Ah, a month post Zync, and I've suddenly been Spade, er Bronzed, er y'all know what I mean!

 

Figures it'd be today that was one of the most utterly bizarre days of my near two decade long adult life.  Oi vey.  Still chillin without apps, mortgage just got a bit harder but such is life.
