Finally closed my rebuilder cards!!

As of this month, I was approved for the following:

Amex PRG - NPSL
Amex Delta Gold - $1k
USAA Mastercard- $5k
USAA Amex - $4k
NASA FCU Visa - $30k

I now was able to FINALLY close my Merrick, Credit One, and First Savings credit cards as well as 3 store cards! It took about 2 years but I was able to get my scores from low 500s to about the 660s. Hard work does pay off! Thank you MyFico!

Re: Finally closed my rebuilder cards!!

Very happy for you, congrats! Feels good to drop the low limit/high fee/ high interest cards! They are awesome to start but I'm sure they know they have a short shelf life lol

If anyone needs me I will be In The Garden. Goal Score: 760 for all in 2015.
Current FICO Scores EX: 715 EQ: 756 TU: 762
