So another member mentioned that my question about apping should be its own thread, but I thought it would be more fun to see everyone's personal records: longest amount of time you have gone without apping and shortest from your first credit card to your most recent (none of this..well I didn't apply for a credit card until I was 17, so 17 years business 
).
Longest: 5 years, from AMEX SPG to AMEX TE
Shortest: 2 days, it's hard not to app when you're on a college campus and they are offering you free stuff. I apped for a Bruin bear and later for a student kit: shirt, cup, the usual.
Starting Score: Same as current

It was LS and appbar's fault, wasn't it?
Surely him and many other pretend gardeners.
There, there, it's ok. They seem to make a really tasty and refreshing koolaid.
