Excellent question Scarlet! You beat me to it.
I too, ask that exact same question..at LEAST 3 times per day.
Please don't fall into the same trap I did. Start app'ing hoping & praying, I'd catch a cc with a good cl(I consider a good cl is any card with more than 2K cl on it).
I didn't. Just wound up with several cc's with $300-$500 limits.
But over time, all but the newest, 2 have cli's in excess of $2,000.
I've recently(in the past 3 weeks) applied for and received 3 bank cards(BoA, WaMu, Juniper). NO MORE APP'ING UNTIL SUMMER 2008 for me. Enough is enough.
