well after 18 months of gardening, hard work and paying down almost all of my card, I decided to strike out and get some cli and possibly a new account or two.
My first attempt was to 3x cli my amex blue cash whch has been a sore spot. I figured this time I was ripe for the taking...nope.... not one to turn away from a challenge I tured my attention to my three GE accounts (wally disc, paypal mc and brandsource card) Those three brought me a combined 11,000 in extra credit !!!!!
Feeling frisky, I applied for a chase sapphire (already have a freedom at 5k) and boom another 5k. Then to add to my GE portfolio, I hit a lowes app and boom. $4000 cl.
At this stage, I am ready to go back into hibernation until late fall when a bunch of my inq from two years all officially fall off the same month. Then wash, rinse, repeat
