LOL!

 

I thought the dungeon was as low as one could go, but maybe the dog house is even lower - sort of like Dante's Circles of App Hell... Smiley Tongue

It must be a step down from the dungeon. Perhaps we should build a dungeon in the current dungeon just make it go deeper. Smiley Very Happy

I seriously thought someone was going to be financing a doghouse at first.  I need to take a break.

Re: app dog house

APPBAR I'm curious how many inquiries do you have on each report? It's strange for so many approvals in short time.

Last summer, I got some good advice here, which I listened to and which has paid off. I was very@ frustrated because I only had low limit CCs (200, 300, 2 @ 500) and I wanted a decent limit card. People told me to STOP apping, or else I would be stuck with a bunch of toy-limit CCs and wouldn't be able to get any decent CL cards. So, I stopped apping for 6 mos. Then I was able to get Navy and Barclays @ $2000 & $2200, and a few mos later, I got a CLI on my 500 visa to $2500. I'm positioning myself for CLIs this year, and hope to get 5-digit CLs.

 

You need to STOP apping, or else you're digging a hole for yourself that you're not going to be able to get out of. You'll be stuck with a bunch of toy-limit CCs that frustrate you and that you then close, only to app for something else in the hopes of getting a better limit -- which you won't because of your credit history.

 

Opening and closing accounts kills your AAoA and doesn't reflect well when loan officers/underwriters review your CR. You're creating the very thing you DON'T want by your actions.
