SW Florida here... currently 72 degrees! 
But my mood wasn't good in 2004 and 2005... got hit by two hurricanes. Dealing with that made me more than a little gripey, LOL!

As many who holds/held this card at one point, we are just tired of paying fees to report to the CB. I haven't used that card in over a year. So should I have continued to pay a monthly fee for something I no longer have any use for? NO I DON'T THINK SO! I made poor credit judgment calls in the past, but those days are behind me.
To sum it up. This post was to celebrate the Credit improvement for myself and to encourage others to build and move up.
Indeed. And three cheers for you!!! It's an accomplishment that is well worthy of celebration!

It is a little cooler here in Northern California. I usually add a shirt to that combo.

Maybe It wasn't just a dream. Your First Premier Mastercard is probably in the mail and should arrive within 7 - 10 business days.
