Checking in with my head hanging in shame (and a few shopping bags in my closet). I'm back to seedling. But there are no more cards I'm interested in that I think I have a shot at, so I think it's safe to say I'll be gardening for quite a while.

Which, of course, brings up the question about score...
My last app, and therefore, my last new account will be six months old tomorrow.
I'm hoping for a score bump.
Do I have to wait for the first of the month, or will it even happen?

Bad News - I lost my silver spade after I left the garden at the end of December...
I chose to lease a new 2013 Mazda3 versus sinking even more money into my poor 1991 Ford Probe with nearly 200,000 miles.
Good News - My credit score they pulled was 705!! I also got the EXACT terms I wanted, both in the money required and the vehicle options. ![]()
Now I'm back in the garden and very glad to know that I'm getting to better ground with lenders (Chase Auto Finance holds the lease). I know I wouldn't have gotten here if I hadn't been incredibly strategic in my credit rebuild over the last year! Every day, I'm happy to have found this forum and the wealth of knowledgeable shared here.
Thank you!
