I love this forum

I consider myself to be pretty savvy regarding credit cards and credit rewards.  I must say that I have picked up new tips and information that has helped me increase my available credit and earn even better rewards.  Thanks to all for the tips, keep them coming!

 

I also want to say I respect the folks that speak eloquently to defend their views, even if they differ from my own, without being condescending or rude.  I have added this forum to my list of websites that I check at least once a day.

I think I would have significantly fewer INQs on my reports had I never discovered myFICO. I would agree, it is a great site and group of people.

Too many INQs & low AAoA so I'm off to tend the Garden.     Age:23

Double-edged sword.

 

I agree, but had I not found this site, I wouldn't have the wallet that I have now in such a short period of time.

Re: I love this forum

I agree that I have learned so much from all of you.  I am not a newbie to credit by far but it seems some things I has been doing for years were not helpful at all! I never knew about backdoor numbers or asking for CLI's...and recon? What's that?! 

 

Thank you - I can't stop checking this website! Smiley Wink

Re: I love this forum

I wouldn't have any of my cards if it wasn't for all of you. I've learned so much and it's always nice to try and help someone else here as much as I've been helped.

So thankful for everything Smiley Happy
