In an effort to improve my credit with prime lenders, I cleaned my sock drawer.

There's an old gym membership card in there somewhere too. and 4 other cards that were canceled were not in that pile because I canceled them days later.

Alas, my CreditOne is still not met my scissors. Perhaps next month.

Did you have any room for socks Gheez lol

Way to go

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Hmmm...i recognize a JCP card there...(why?! they have a great rewards program! unless you don't shop there that much!), a Victoria's Secret, a Drive for Five Shell...is that an Orchard Bank somewhere in the mix? XD also see a Macy's!

Haha at least the temptation will be minimal! Except in some retail stores...we can always look up your account number for you

Anyone who can successfully reconstruct an account number from that pictures deserves whatever they can change on those closed accounts. haha
