Re: DW is not a MyFICOer

The intent was more of a playful story tell than a rant or for the Approval thread.  She'll easily out handle my butt on many other things but when it comes to cards, I am more tuned in on this area.  


A few years ago, she thought that it was odd when I said that we must use a new specific card for everything during the next 90 days.  She went with it and we just made it with the spend organically.

gave her that $500 SUB; she was astonished and surprised that we got $500 for just using a CC.

Thanks for a laugh! 

 

I can definitely identify as I imagine many of our members do. 

My DW is not a MyFico'er either. 

She tells me I put her to sleep talking credit cards.  Lol. 

 

Anyway, congratulations on DW's approval for the Walmart card!

I pick my battles and optimizing BOTH of our CC spend aint a battle that I will ever win  😥.  

 

Funny- she did tell me afterwards that her best friend's  husband applies sticky notes on all of her cards instructing her which one to use for certain categories 😍.
