In my Wallet Today

Capital One Quicksilver MC, $3800

Discover it, $3300

Victoria's Secret, $500

NFL Extra Points Visa, $4500

jetBlue Plus WEMC, $4000

Capital One Quicksilver WEMC $10000

My rebuild has been a little more fast and furious than I intended, but I am happy with the results. Later this year, I plan to combine the two QS, and close NFL Extra Points and roll balance onto the jetBlue Plus to pare down my wallet.

Yes, it does, geemillz! It looks like you've done some work of your own. Nice cards and limits in your signature. Was BoA IIB for you? I want to get back in with them someday, and I've heard the secured route is a good way to go. Wasn't sure how long I have to wait.

Great job getting in with Chase.... Do you recal which CRA they pulled? Did you burn them in the BK from 2015? I was dicharged a month prior to you and was thinking of taking a chance on them again....
