Must. Not. App.

It's officially January and I'm stuck at work bored out of my mind. I really want to app for Amex Delta Gold and Costco True Earnings, but I want to wait for my recent payment on my Green to post first. This sucks.

Hey now... that would be a $300 limit in 61 days! Capital One seems to think that's an acceptable limit. Seriously though, boredom has to be the worst thing when it comes to gardening.

Gardening pays off for most.

 

I'm only apping twice this year for student loans.

 

There really isn't a lot out there that floats my boat in the CC world at this point. It's actually pretty easy to garden now.

Do you already have the US Bank Cash+ card? In my opinion, it's a must-have!

I already have BCP, Delta Amex, 2 Citi, Chase Freedom, and 2 USAA cards. I was jonesing for a USBank card but really don't want anything else to manage.

 

My long term (7 year) plan is to only have 2 or 3 cards. Unless someone comes up with a card I'll lose sleep over not applying for this dude is staying in the garden, LOL!

In my opinion, it's risky to have only 2 or 3 credit cards. Diversification in this credit game is important. For example, if you get AA'd with your 2 or 3 credit cards, you're essentially out of luck. Please carefully think about this.
