I can NOT be admitted into the Sleigh Center....Yet!!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

I had a Cap1- limit $300 then they uped to$500 after 3 months. Then I got a Hooters they gave me $750 and will not increase my limit. Then I applied for the Seamiles card and was approved for $2250.................THEN I WENT MAD!!!!!!!

Applied for the following:

Juniper -National Park Visa- Approved $1250

Juniper- US- Airways- Approved $2250

WAMU- Approved ( do not know limit yet )

Target - Approved- $200

HSBC- Approved - $750 ( i received today, and do not want to activate, I want to cancel it due to limit

Capitol One Auto Loan- Approved- $40,000

I am now sitting at my desk with numerous pre-approvals placed face up in front of me..they seem to be SCREAMING MY NAME!!!!

What I want to do is find out from you gurus if I should pay and close the Hooters and Cap one card due to low limits or should I just pay them and keep them locked up. Also, should I cancel the card I received today from HSBC? It is already showing on my CR's.

Again I CAN NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE SLEIGH CENTER YET!!!!

Please Help!!!!

I feel you, i broke down and got a Victoria secrets card.. I go there every year to make huge purchases. so at least the card will be used.

now i am sitting in front of the submit button for speigel. they have been tempting me for along time

Oh I forgot to add one..:

Lowe's Approved-$400

Ragcajun- I would like the Victoria Secret Card too!!!! But I am going to keep my store cards to Target ( and hope for the Visa) and Lowe's

lol whoa, congrats on the cards, but did you really need all that credit? ;-) From what I've read on here I think it would be best to keep the cap1 and hooters card and use them monthly with a 1-9% utilization and keep good payment history with them to become eligible for CLIs unless of course they are costing you money. But I think that should be all the inquiries you add to your report for a while, sit back and let those accounts age.

Yeah, I know it seems like a lot of credit. I want to close the Hooters Card because it has a AF of $39. I like a lot of people on this site only want 2-3 cards with decent limits (by decent I mean 5k-10k). But I am trying to get there and build up my scores. And I WILL succeed as long as I stick with the game plan and keep listening to all of these FABULOUS people on this site!

In April I was: 580, 590, 5??

Now: 612, 640, 650

A little damage today I see.

Calculate your ave age..before app sprees like this to ensure you do not drop to the next year down.

This is damage in the last two weeks. I only had the Hooters and Cap One card. The oldest of those two being May of this year, everything else I was approved for in this last 2 weeks.
