I just got done with an unplanned app spree.
Wal-Mart (discover) --- 1800
Macy --- (don't know CL)
Lowe's --- 2000
Target --- 500
Sear's ---- 2000
(in that order)
I was riging a high while I was app'ing but now I feel bad ... like remorse.
I really was going to app but I decided to go for the Wal-mart. After that, I was just on a roll.
I'm happy I was 5 for 5 but I hope It doesn't hurt me in the long run.
It can be normal, anything done impulsively that one has second thoughts about qualifies certainly.
Long run (call it 3+ years) it won't much matter at all especially if you get use out of the cards; shorter-term <1 year it likely will, and the 1-3 year mid-term YMMV. May even be a benefit in some things but that is highly dependant as to the rest of your credit report.
I feel bad after each HP. Especially in cases where they weren't expected like when asking for a CLI or annoying someone at Sallie-Mae, LOL!
Yes, I'd say that's totally normal. Especially if it's on an impulse, then when it's over you sit back and realize it probably wasn't worth all the pulls. From my experience, I have much less "app remorse" when I plan the applications out, and know for sure these are the cards I want. Even still, sometimes you don't get approved for a great amount, then it feels a little wasted as well.
I just recently requested CLI's for my Freedom and More cards...both were granted with HP's, but only for $500. I had some serious remorse after that, but my new approvals followed by a massibe CLI on my BoA card and another on my Barclay's lessened the blow.
Thanks for repling ...
I app'ed after I called Discover to see about a CLI. I have a CL of $1000 now. They wanted to do a hard pull so I said that's ok and hung up. I guess I wasn't satifed so I wanted to app for 1 card - wal-mart. then it just went from there ...
BTW Macy CLI is $500
You can call the Macys automated system at 877-493-9207 and find out your credit line. Push the option for balance (I think it's 1) and when she asks for your account number say I don't know. She'll ask for your social, look up your account, and read your balance and available credit.
edit: oops, saw you post the line as I posted..
VERY normal.
I think I'm going to not app for the rest of the year.
I have enough seedlings ...
I always feel bad after a spree...that's why I reframe from doing them anymore. Lol.

You Lost one inquiry. Your time fill out application .....
