I was at the apple store last night looking for a band for my mothers iWatch and I tought about buying a MacBook Pro and I remember the Barclays CC with Apple rewards, filled out the applycation and APPROVED $3,500.00 SL... This morning I was buying a flight to my home country and saw the application for AAdvantage CC, filled it out and APPROVED $4,000.00 SL. I need to freeze my credit reports lol...

Congrats on both solid approvals!

You can slowly start to close out your subprime accounts now if you wish.

Yes, I definitely want to close the subprime accounts. Unfortunately I just paid the AF, so I'll wait a year before closing them.

Congrats on both approvals! I would recommend the same as JAG73 stated (closing out sub-prime cards). I would also build on the Discover/BoA/Amex cards as they are good lenders.

Discover they don't love me. 2 years and 2 months and I only had an increase of $600.00 everytime I get denied. Amex will ask for a 3X CLI next month, crossing my fingers.

Did your Discover start as a secured card?

Yes. It took about 1 1/2 year to become unsecured and maybe 5 months to get the CLI... I used it regularly always PIF but I don't know what they want from me

They want you to app a second card. There is anecdotal evidence that Discover can bucket secured cards and that they won't grow. A card that starts unsecured will most definitely grow and it'll do it quickly!

I definitely need to freeze my credit reports... I did apply for a second Discover, approved $2,000.00 SL. Hopefully this one will grow quickly
