2nd Disco approval

A bit on the measly side, but I got their lowest APR, which makes me happier - not because I carry balances outside of 0% promos, but just because it feels more like credit file/scoring progress than higher limits.

 

Anyway,  DPs

 

HP EX,  FICO8 of 777 (last I checked - I probably should've waited til next week when my util will be dropping and should bring it back to ~800)

APR: 11.99% after the 14mo 0% intro

SL: $5000

1/6 3/12 6/26

Overall util = 3%

 

The SL is sufficient - I got it to abuse the double cash back with the paypal quarter after something @kilroy8 said reminded me that I have a sizeable bill coming up (I already have Paypal Key).

 

Now, who wants to hand me a recycling bin.

Thanks @M_Smart007 !

 

I just realized I'll be maxxing out that quarter fairly quickly thanks to PP Key since I can also pay my (TWO WEEKS!) of fancy dog boarding for my princesses with it.

Wow, you are quick on the trigger. You should have no regerts, it is always great to have more big cashback with no AF cards.

 

Congrats!

@kilroy8 No real regerts, honestly.   The other CB cards wouldn't net me nearly as much as I'll make with the double on Paypal.  Honestly, I thank you, because two different boarding stays (and this place is stupid expensive, but there's not a lot around) and the insurance bill will be huge with paypal key.   I had honestly forgotten all about it since I never rarely use it until I read your post and remembered I had it.

 

Plus, who knows, maybe I can finally get another CLI from Disco with all of the use (my real drive there is to get a high average CL for CBIS scoring purposes).

Also, there might be a little fun when I tell mr. c I'm getting  more CB on amazon than he does with his fancy Chase next quarter Smiley Tongue

CL on the second grew much faster than the first for me. It's stuck now, though.
