Amex CLI & Mini App Spree

Yesterday I was finally eligible to request a CLI on either my Amex BCE or Optima, and I chose Optima.  My Optima limit was $9.6k and so I requested a new limit of $25k.  I was pleasantly surprised by the message that my request was approved!

 

Now that I reached my goal on Amex card(s), I decided to app for Chase Freedom Mastercard and Citi Simplicity Visa.  Received instant approval on both, with starting limits of $7,500 on the Freedom and $10,900 on the Citi Simplicity.  The Chase Freedom came with a bonus offer of $100 for spending $500 in first 3 months and 0% for 15-months on purchases and BTs.

 

Chase and Citi both pulled EX (grrrr), so now I have 5 INQs on EX.  Was really hoping Citi would have pulled EQ since they pulled EQ for my DH's app back in May.  Only have 2 INQs on EQ, both were due to a new car purchase back in August.

 

Back to the garden I shall go.
