I'm out.. app'd for a Target card

Anonymous · ‎07-18-2008

Couldn't help it. I was buying about 170 bucks worth of stuff at Target today. "Do you want to apply for a target card and save 34.00 off of your purchase?" Dang it, I wanted another store card in the mix but was going to wait a few months since I just got the Chase this month! :0 Well, I did it and got the basic 200 cl... I guess it's better since they'll both age together. But that's it... No more credit cards for me!

Just make sure you pay it down before it posts to your CR. That $170 kills the utilization on that card.

Sheets and towels are being washed; name tag has been pulled off the door; your bags are outside in the ambulance pad.

Congrats on the new card!

congrats on the card. I need to pay down my target card also. You should see an increase in the next few months.

yea I read the target thread and most everyone saw some increases within the first few months. I'll start buying my baby's diapers/wipes there to put it to some use

Well if you could check in and out at will as the want arises to apply for new cards it wouldn't do much good, now would it?
