Recent successes: NASA & PenFed Approvals, AMEX CLI

A decent few days for me.

With EX FICO 8 finally up at 780 and EQ at 771, decided to try my luck at a little uplifting of my total credit picture.

Had 2 HPs showing on each, total Util at 1%, AAoA aroun 4.6 years, no bad marks.

First, asked for 3 X CLI on my newest AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business Card. Approved instantly: $10K -> $30K. No muss, no fuss

Couple days later, tried for new NASAFCU card. Prequaled then approved for $20K at 9.4% rate. (11.4% for cash advances, which is amazing) HP to EX. Sweet

Then, PenFed. Approved for $12.5K, HP to EQ Not great... but I'll take it.

Net gain in credit availability: $52.5K . Not too bad for a few days work and representing a gain, overall of about 45% in new credit availability.

This success is due primarily to strategies and tactics learned from other contributors to myFICO, which empowered me to raise my scores and optimize chances of success with approvals. I'd never have been able to accomplish this without the help of so many generous folks contributing their experiences (good and bad) and knowledge.

Many, many, thanks everyone!
