What's almost as good as being approved for cards?

Getting them in the mail!!! It's like a double shot of gratification!  Getting new cards didn't mean much to me before. Now it's a good feeling. Like I've accomplished something. Walmart, Merrick and Barclay (Apple) arrived today. Feel like a little kid at Chirstmas! Just waiting for Target to arrive. That will replace my temp card. Now I will let them sit in the garden for awhile and see if I can get them to grow every 4-5 months.

I enjoyed the anticipation leading up to getting my BCE in the mail because I never called to see what CL I was given. I opened it up and it was better than Christmas Smiley Happy

Yup... $3000. Shocked is an extreme understatement! I looked at it a few times to make sure it didn't say $300.00. Target is my highest limit. I don't know what to say about that one.
