No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Gardening for 2015 is certainly a goal I have and I hope everyone that is not seeking new credit is successful.
It is great to see others setting the goal of gardening for 2015 as well! As I mentioned earlier, for the most part I used 2014 to tweak all the areas that I could (get CL's up, get Util extremely low and get a couple of lates removed). I feel that in my case it would be best to garden all of 2015 and let more time heal all the wounds from 2-3 years ago.
Wishing everyine a Happy FICO 2015!

Hello Friends,
Anyone else planning to Garden all of 2015?
I won't be gardening the entire year, but I plan to grow the one card I have for 6 months and then apply for one additional. So....semi-gardening all year.

Welcome to the 2015 Gardening Club!
I'm gardening the entire 2015, as my last app was for Sallie Mae/Barclay (approved).....and now processing what cards will remain & what will go ! If a CLI increasse occurs, it will be upon the issuer to do it because there will be NONE requested by me. Finally seeing mid 700's & one proud heffa (LOL) from where I started 2 years ago on this board.
Thank you so much EW800 ! You gonna be my motivation this year !
Oct 2012 till today - Great Job !
Def gardening here,
Started repairing early 2014
Got two secured cards.. Cap1 @ $500 and USbank HD-Visa @ $300
Kept paying on time, in full for a whole year..
New years eve 2015
Applied for Cap1 Quicksilver, approved @ $500 and became UNSECURED!
Applied for AMERICAN EXPRESS Everyday Credit Card, approved @ $500 and got MSD 2015!
Also got authorized on my father's Amex Optima @ $5K for an extra treadline on the reports.
I'm going to be gardening for all 2015 and just waiting for CLI's and incoming offers for better cards.
I plan to garden for all of 2015 and 2016 (I hope lol). I've been rebuiding my credit the past 9 months and have about 13 inquiries(auto loans and cc's) on each CRA. I backed out of the auto loan after approval of 5% APR because I didn't want take on any more long-term debt outside of student loans. I currently have two cc's-Cap One QS and Chase Freedom. I'm an AU on my DH Cap One QS and FNBO Plat Visa. Also, I have some pending disputes with the CRAs and some CO's to fall off that was initiated by the OC. I just want my report clean .
My scores as of Jan 2015 are EQ 647, TU 656, and EX 652. My first goal is to get 700s across the board!!!
