Good-bye subprime hello prime time

Hey everyone,

 

                        First time poster long time stalker just wanted to share my success so far. My credit was not very good for a long time, so a few years ago I opened a few subprime cards 2 HSBC and 2 capital one. So after two years of on time payments and Discover sending me mailers it was time to move on up. I appd for a Discover it instantly approved  then feeling lucky I went over to amex and appd for both amex bce and amex prg instant approval for both. It feels good to sit at the big people table.

 

 

Thanks to all the advice on this forum you guys rock!
