Not to toot my own horn, but i have no doubts either. 

 

I'm happy with where I am in the credit world right now. It's gotten to the point where I see an offer I like and I don't need to think about whether or not I'll be approved. Smiley Tongue Like the 70k marriot and 140k ritz cards. 

 

Second time Barclay's has denied me for a card recently, and the last time (in sept) it happened the lady was like "weird i dont know why you weren't approved,"  boom, 3k (at the time my highest limit was 3.5k from cap one and barclays)

They may not like all your new accounts. Smiley Happy

 

I'm not so sure i'm at that same point with some issuers.

 

AMEX, Chase, i'm sure will give me what I want.

Citi, BoA, Barclays, Simmons.. They'll hassle me about it.

Simmons hassles everyone. Just give them your first born and they'll open your account. 

 

And it's not that many new accounts. They better like em, or we're gonna have a problem. Smiley Tongue 

 

Plus I dont think my ritz card has even reported yet. Only "new" accounts would be my ring card and my marriott card which are both a few months old already.

Congrats on the approval! Love those "first purchase" requirements to get signup bonus. Too bad you dont see too many of them.
