Yea sure, ya betcha!
Which reminds me of a joke.
So, if a Palestinian and a Swede (I'm pretty much Swedish, genealogically speaking, so I hope I can tell this...) get married,
what do they name their first son?

And pull them from myfico.com/12 so you can see the same info your lenders can see. That's eye-opening

Yep - it's contagious!!! I keep a running list of cards I might want to app for next year (just in case I forget about a nifty card that I might absolutely have to have)!! Then, next year, I'll go over my list and maybe, MAYBE, pick a card - or two.
Thank you, from me too, for the note about myfico/12 ... is this link publically, officially, advertised elsewhere on the site? do you (or others) know of any other 'special' myfico links?
Also, that's a good idea about writing things down, then when ready going over the list. It's good to be reminded of specials and 'oddballs' (as creditboards calls them) one saw before; but it's also a relief to realize a 'gotta die for' special isn't all that after all.
