Hilton Honors AMEX - $9500!!

I read too many posts here, applied on a whim, and got approved for $9500!!

 

EQ8 - 685  |  TU8 - 690 | EX 8 - 689

  • Open CC’s
    • Nordstrom Store Card / $0 Bal / $300 Limit
    • Capital One QS / $373 Bal / $2500 Limit
  • No lates in the last 2+ years
  • No HPs in last 3 years
  • One CC charged-off collection Paid In Full $1500 (Aug 2020)
  • AAoA – 9.5 years

On a whim I applied Saturday morning through Credit Karma (based on approval odds) and got approved.  It worked out because we travel a good bit and Hilton is a preferred brand for us.

 

My wife and I have been working hard on improving our credit profile(s) this year, paying about $2k toward debt per month.  Last things we have are her credit card which will be paid off this month and my car which will be paid off Jan 2021.

 

The freedom you feel when you can handle debt responsibly is incredible.  Just to think…I was in magistrate court two years ago for being irresponsible with debt. Thankfully, the attorney for the firm didn’t show up.  Dismissed without prejudice....I paid it off anyway.

 

But yeah, I got approved!!

Congrats on that great approval!!! Average age of 9 years, and no HP for 3 years... You were ripe for the picking!!

Don't rely on CK for approval odds, purely marketing. 
Continued success on the hard work you guys have done.
