Carnival Sea Miles - Approved - 2K, Hooters MC - Approved - 1.5K, ESPN Wamu Visa-Approved-1k, US Airways-pending, HSBC Platinum MC-Approved-1.5K, Penfed - DENIED. In the process of all this, I cancelled a few pains of mine...ONLY because of the AF's: Cap One, First Premier (boooo, get off the stage!!!) Credit One Bank, Aspire (boooo, get out the building!!). My scores aren't super good... TU-641,10 inquiries/EQ-660,4 inquiries/EX-669, 3 inquiries. Baddies: BK7 discharged in 1999/2 CO's/4 paid collections/3 paid judgements. Not bad for my wack credit. So, I guess I'm done..lol Tue, 22 May 2007 03:27:07 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Talk-about-pulling-the-trigger/m-p/10510#M6703 CGame 2007-05-22T03:27:07Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Talk-about-pulling-the-trigger/m-p/10515#M6708 Quite the rush isn't it? Just don't use the cards.

Get it done now, take the hit and let them age for later. You and I have a year to sit with inquiries. 669 isn't that bad. I like the sound of the hooters card. Does it have a pretty girl on it? :-)<BR /><BR />Use the new cards 1 time just to get them reporting activity.<BR /><BR />Message Edited by ilovepizza on <SPAN class="date_text">05-21-2007</SPAN> <SPAN class="time_text">09:34 PM</SPAN> Tue, 22 May 2007 04:34:51 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Talk-about-pulling-the-trigger/m-p/10524#M6717 Anonymous 2007-05-22T04:34:51Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/General-Credit-Topics/Talk-about-pulling-the-trigger/m-p/10526#M6719 Yeppers.
