Today,following the advice of the FICO forum masters as to which I should app 1st,I went into Nordstrom for a Coach bag,applied and was approved for 5k Visa...pulled EQ
Came home,went online with invite from Discover and was approved for 7,500 Discover More.....pulled EX
Feeling frisky or maybe risky,apped a RBS Kroger online was approved for 3K...........pulled EQ
