You're a Credit Addict If...

myFicoers...not sure if i'm posting this in the right spot, but since the topic is about credit cards i figured this might be the right spot Smiley Happy being a forum rat for over 15 years now, one of the fun topics i've always come across was knowing when you've been addicted to a particular hobby or what not...since joing in march of this year and reading thru many topics and posts, there's been a general idea as to what would constitute a credit addict...anyhow, let me start this one:

 

-You're a credit addict if you start stalking your mail carrier for new plastic!

-...you start identifying stores by their UW

 

so let's hear what else you guys think Smiley Happy

-You don't just have the credit analyst number saved as a contact but the EO number as well.
-You hold out for the best offers on the cards you want because your endless research has informed you of the best offers for those specific cards.

Hi my name is myjourney and i'm an addict......Smiley Embarassed

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
