CREDIT ENVY TO CLI

It's been busy for the last week or so...

Cap One CLI 4.8K to 6.8
Discover CLI 900 to 2.7
Old Navy 300 to 5k

Amazon 3500.00 to 5K

Walmart 3500.00 to 5K



Finally approved for NFCU last week ...
Approved for Checking, Savings & Go Rewards 2.9 SL.
CLOC is pending annnnnnd of course I'm now stuck in BSA jail.   I'm out of NFCU BSA purgetory. Asked for 10k and received 10K on CLOC!

I'm not worried, I'll of course wait it out while they so do their due diligence. I work in the financial sector so I get it.

Then I accidentally *cough* applied for an AMEX BCE and was approved for 1K. OOPS *sideeye* I'm going to OFFICIALLY garden only stepping out to Refi my car.

 

Sometimes I look at these approvals and CLIs for crazy amounts and get jealous. Dang, can I get a starting limit of 25k.

 

CREDIT ENVY is so REAL.

Then it hit me yesterday.....

Two years ago I couldn't get any credit to save my life. While I had sufficient income I was being denied LEFT and RIGHT or approved w/ crazy interest RATES. I've long wanted DIscover & Amex but they wouldn't even give me a chance now I have them. I've learned so much in the last year I've been active on these boards and I am GRATEFUL for where I am now. I'm also grateful for all of you. I KNOW that it will only get better from here and these limits will grow.

For now I'm chilling in the garden and cheering for all of you.

Congrats!! I know the feeling! 2 years ago, in Sept. 2014, I couldn't even get approved for a Victoria's Secret card, let alone for anything else. Now, not only do I have that, I have Amex, Chase, BOA, etc... Who ever would thunk? (is that a real word?)😃 Amazing isn't it?
