Stuck in the garden!

 I think I am now in forced gardening for at least 1-2 years. I can't think of any other cards that I need or want other than A few offered by Chase, Citibank and B of A unfortunately my BK is only 3 yrs Post D/C.  Chase told me 4-5 yrs Bof A 1 yr on secured and then I am good to go and CITI would not tell me anything.  Any cards that are BK friendly that I am missing?  I also want a Macy's  but got to wait one more year on that app.

Read the highlighted statement 3 times and think about what was said ....Lol

IMHO you need to garden for two reasons 

1) per you... you have all you need and want 

2) but you want more.....interesting 

 

MJ honesty moment

I think you need to garden and come up with a plan for the next year because you're either app happy or not planning your future ....sorry being honest 

Which is exactly what gardening is all about ....planning while learning.

Knowing what's good for your profile and what you need for your spending habits 

As well as an support system of friends that will help and guide you when things get tough (app fever)

And just a guess but I'm willing to bet you have a lot of INQ's in the last year....Lol How close am I?

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Stuck in the garden!

I guess what I was saying is that there are a few cards that I want but do not qualify for at this time. My plan once I get those cards will be to stop using my tier 2 cards. Yes I have a lot of apps but my scores have gone up 100 pints in 18 months. My wife and I have also accumulated 200 k in points/miles. I do Lennon app for cards but only those I will actually use. U r right though I need to let those INQ drop off. I have an avg of 12-14 apps on each bureau last 2 yrs. I had twice that number but found a way to get them deleted that I won't talk about on this forum.

Re: Stuck in the garden!

Own up to your inquiries. Even 12 to 14 is a lot. Garden, grow your file and give it a rest.
