In the next few months, I am sure Ashabir will beat this record.

his average credit limit per card is $1135.60. obviously there is a range, his lowest limit is 50. But spread out over this many cards average limit would be $1135.60

Did you see the part about how he does a reconsideration? He just tells them that he's going for the record, and they come through. Make a note...

And the bit about bar credit and all, apparently that's exactly what he does!

Wow, you have to wonder if he's married, and if so, who would put up with the weirdness. There's no way that he's Mr. Normal Boring Guy in every other area!

There is no way that AmEx would ever do an F/R on him --they'd have to wade through all that junk. They probably fainted the first time they did an -AR soft on him!

Out of all of those apps he's only been turned down once. I wonder what will happen if he tries to get a house lol. Do yaw think the bank would tell him to close some of the accounts? How long would it take to call each company to get an CLI? I thought Fico stop counting cards if you don't use them for a long time. And finally I hope he does internet banking if not I would hate to be his mailman.
