I opted out when I was house hunting last year, and now that I have my home I was thinking maybe I should opt back in to see what kind of CC offers I get. Should I? Is it a good or bad idea?
I am hoping to get a couple of "prime" CC's to throw into the mix as soon as I can get my util down a little more. Who knew there was so much stuff you need when you first buy your own home!
Thanks for any input you can give me!
Starting Score: TU 754 EQ 705 EX 680 (AmEx pull)
I'm opted out and staying opted out!!! Do you really need to buy all that stuff on credit? Just thinking, but congrats on your new home!
