HI All!
New to myFICO but I've been lurking around (even after I created my account). I stopped using my credit in 2009 when I was laid off. Since then I've been on a cash only basis for everything.
I finally put myself back in the game last year and jumped head first the last 3 months. Defininitely in garending mode now 
I juust wanted to say hi and thanks for all your help and guidence. It's given me the encouragment to beat my CS back into submission as I look to buy a new truck this year and at $60-70k it's going to be more than I'm willing to shell out in cash.
Thanks Backwoods!
I'm quite impressed myself. The Arrival+ was a bit of a surpise especially with the WEMC. Only thing I can think is that AmEx and Chase (denied) only pulled my EX so my TU history is more or less clean (5HP in 24m) and has a decent score. The $750 limit is going to make getting the 50k bonus "fun", but I do enjoy a challenge.
Oh yes, meeting those bonuses with low limits definitely require some...creativity.
I was literally paying my card off everyday just to be able to buy a sandwich.
