Re: New Credit Card for Xmas?

I ignored my siggy on not applying and got my foot in the door with Amex. Building a relationship with Amex with my new shiny Zync card!

Re: New Credit Card for Xmas?

I'd settle for a nice CLI on any of my cards from Santa. I'm not planning on applying anymore in 2011, but I will likely app for another AMEX in January to maximize my backdating.

Re: New Credit Card for Xmas?

I'm resisting the urge to app for an xmas cc. Just opened a couple of new accounts in November. If I opened a third account and Barclay's closed my new card for aggressively seeking credit, I'd be distraught (to say the least). Looks like I won't be able to app for 4-6 months.

Transunion: 713 FICO (5/13/2014) MyFico
Experian: 789 FICO (4/10/12) Lender Pull
Equifax: 695 FICO (1/10/14) MyFico

My cards: Chase United Mileage Plus 7000CL (3/12), CITI Simplicity 1800CL (9/12), Cap1 Platinum 1000CL (2/10), Cap1 Cash back 1500CL (11/11), Apple Barclay's 2500CL (11/11), Discover IT 6000CL (5/13)

My Primary Financial Goal is to put down my utl%.

Re: New Credit Card for Xmas?

I applied for a First National Bank of Omaha VISA, and I've checked the status online about a hundred times  (they pulled my EX  on the 6th).  I don't think I'll get it, but it'll be a great Christmas present if they do (I instructed them to transfer two balances while applying.)
