I think I have finally hit excellent credit!

I recieved an pre qual app today from BOA for a mastercard with a 13.24%APR. I have never had an offer with this low of an APR. I started rebuilding credit in 2008 with numerous baddies (have all fallen off) and a low score of 500's. I am now at scores between 743-756, no lates since 2008, 18 accounts and a UTI of 23% (A bonus should be in my account tomorrow and then I can pay down my highest balance which will bring it under 10%). Its amazing what hard work, budgeting and time can accomplish. Now if I can just get and answer on my chase Disney app (20 days and counting, Robo lady still saying  weeks) then I am gardening as I will have what I need. Next Spring new car with best interest rate I can get!
