Preliminary impact of app'ing spree

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 19:38:46 GMT

In the last week of Sept. and first week of Oct. I applied for and was accepted for 3 cc's:

WaMu Visa Platinum: $6,500 cl
BoA Visa Platinum(the 99/500): $500 cl
Juniper Visa Platinum: $500 cl

My scores on Oct.1:
TU: 676
EXP: 665
EQ: 633

Today WaMu posted my TU score on my acct page on their website: 651
So I lost 25 points with TU for doing all this. I was expecting it and accept it.

I'm sooooooooo wanting to pull all 3 CR's but will hold off till 1st of Nov. to let the dust settle.

Just thought I'd pass this along.

Time to stop app'ing, and go cold turkey for 6 months or so. A year if I can hold out.

Yep, no more trips to the garden store for you, missy! Time to stay home and water and weed and fertilize what you've got. We expect to see a lovely bouqet in about six months' time. (You've picked up some good cards there, btw--congrats.)

Thanks hauling. Think I'll take up knitting, sitting around the fireplace with Toby curled up next to me in my rocking chair. Guess I'll have to go out and buy a rocking chair with those new CC's. LOL.

Oh! Hey, many congrats on your b'day, AND anniversery, girlfriend! And many more to come.

Never ever, ever be late. ever
