JUST RECEIVED SCORES FROM IDENTITY GUARD : EXP: 692 ( GO FIGURE )...TRANS: 765...EQUIFAX: 785
I KNOW THEIR SCORES ARE NOT THE REAL DEAL; BUT I USE THEM MOSTLY TO KEEP AN EYE ON ACTIVITY AND CHANGES; ETC.
HAVE A COSTCO AMEX........THEY WERE GENEROUS
TARGET STORE CARD.........$1000 ( 5% OFF EVERY DAY)
LOWES.........$1200 ( 5% OFF OR 6 MO INTEREST FREE )
B of A...........$1500 ( FOR THE MIX ....NO CASH REWARDS.....WILL BE WORKING ON THAT NEXT)
AND NOW THE DISCOVER.......TO REPLACE AN HSBC
I AM JUST HAPPY BECAUSE I WORK SO HARD AND STRATEGICALLY TO FIX OUR CREDIT. AND MANAGED TO GET IT DONE IN 4 YEARS.
WE ARE NOT CREDIT HAPPY. BUT IT'S NICE TO HAVE FOR EMERGENCIES. HAVE MORE CREDIT THAN WE WOULD EVER USE OTHERWISE.
THANKS TO THIS BOARD FOR ALL THAT I HAVE LEARNED.
Congrats !

Congrats!! I remember that one day that I was at 800. I celebrated by app'ing for PenFed, Citi CLI, and AMEX CLI. Got all three. I hope to join you back in the club in a few months.
I'm gonna crack a beer to celebrate for you. :-)

+1. That's exactly what happened to me. I was in the 800 club for several years, then I picked up 2 new cards in the last 13 months. My AAoA dropped and now I'm sitting just below.
