Utilization drops and waiting to see if scores break 700

All new accounts have reported except the secured Bank America Cash Rewards.

 

Wells Fargo secured graduation to cash rewards....CLI denied

US Bank secured graduated to Platinum rewards....CLI denied

Barclay NFL Rewards 14th statement closes....NO CLI....denied due to 11 new accounts opened in past 9 months (had to get CSR to give me official version)....did PC to Rewards Visa

Amex Delta.....CLI denied....too many inquiries, too many new accounts, Utilization too high

 

Cap one Journey....PC to QS (credit step graduation in May 2015)

 

Made significant changes to accounts since December 2014  and by my math utilization has dropped from 43% to 35% to 29% to 22% to finally 18%. Will be about 3 weeks before all accounts updated to bureaus. Hope to break 700 with 18% utilization.

Total available credit is still a paultry $14K over 18 accounts. Max credit line on any card is still only $1K and AU accounts are $2.5K.

 

Total Banckard 13.5% (visa/MC/Amex)

Total department 4.5% (commenity/macy/walmart)

Thanks for the news! I'm currently waiting for my rejection letter from U.S. Bank secured card. I opened it a year ago and have always paid the statement balance before the due date, but I hear they can be a little stingy. Glad to hear you got yours to graduate though! congrats!
