New Credit Card for Xmas?

tntexans72 · ‎12-10-2011

Just wondering who all applied and received a CC(s) for Xmas?

I apped and received the Amex BCP this past week and that was my only wish list for Santa this season.

Anyone else received their xmas present from Santa?

Well, my Xmas present from Santa wasn't a new card; it was a couple of very nice CLIs. My Dillard's Amex went from $1700 -> $4200, and DH's Lowe's went from $600 -> $4600. That's exactly the sort of thing that I had on my wish list. After all, I've been a very good girl this year!

Wow! Great CLIs! That's exactly what I'm hoping for in 2012!

I didn't think about it as Xmas, but in November, I got a NFCU $2k, Barclays Apple $2200 and Walmart $300. Unfortunately my score took a nosedive as a result.

I'm hoping that CLIs and time will help my score revive.

CLIs are even better imo....esp., if it's a soft inquiry.

BCE for me. I just received it yesterday.

I wanted either the BCE or the Freedom.

Oh, yes, I agree. And both of these were softs. The amazing thing is that they both started out back in April with toy limits -- $700 and $300 respectively -- and have grown into something quite respectable. What a great way to end the year!!!

I did a back to back ap of the Amex Platinum and Premier Rewards Gold last Sunday. Got an instant approval of the Platinum with a in progress of the PRG. Ended up getting both but ended up with 2 pulls, not 1 like most replied. First Platinum was messed up since they added too many spaces between my first and last name and the tape on the back was so strong that it didn't peel off. My replacement wasn't much better with the numbers being printed in the middle of the signature panel leaving me no place to sign.
