OK, so I finally decided to do a mini app spree today and this lasted longer than I expected and took me 
Since I'm still in the rebuidling phase, I thought I'd take a peek out of the garden and do a mini app spree. I was initially waiting for my scores to hit the 700's and above to get more PRIME lenders, but with the sloooow CLI of $100-$200 i've been getting from my only 2 Cap1 cards, I figured it would take me a loooong time to get there. So I started with Barclay's becuase TU is my highest score 688, I hit the love button and was approved for the Barclay's reward card for $1.5K called recon and got bumped to $3K!!!! YEAH BUDDY!!! Then I remember reading a thread that said you might as well go for two and get one HP....So I applied for the Barclay's Apple reward card and BOOM $2K is was!!
I got really pumped up and decided to apply for the Discover IT and was approved for $1.2K , not what I was expecting but hey, I accpeted the offer because I know I can grow it pretty quickly and Discover is not that good with recon right after approval, they usually like you to wait 90 days and thereafter it's 31 days..SO I'll wait..... Next I thought...Let's try for some store cards too just to give my credit profile a bit of a variety...I apped for Bloomingdales and received a low approval of $300, called recon and got bumped to $3K instantly!!!! I apped for TJMaxx (because I shopped there for workout clothes and other misc items), got approved for $250, called recon and got bumped to $3K again!!!!!
Well...then I started getting more 7-10 messages with other cards like Overstock and Nordstroms...so, I figured it's time to stop and go back to the garden because I am not ready to see all of the HP's on my CR as I check it every 30 days...But hey, I'm glad I swallowed my fear and took a chance...Now it's back to the garden for the rest of the year! Oh!! one last thing, the Hubby added me to his $6K Chase Freedom card they he just received after gardedning for the last year and it's his 1st prime cc! So that's nice! Plus it will add some texture to my profile!
Now if I can figure out how to add this info to my signature line...
Toodles!!!
Good for you!
Now you have a ton of credit line to manage.
