Been eyeballing the Chase Amazon Visa for a while now, I shop at amazon way too often and really want that metal card, haha. But, been hesitant to take a try. I burned them about 10 years ago, charge off, don't remember how much. But, that's made me shy about trying.
On an unrelated note, I got a preapproval letter for Sam's Club MC on Friday. Filled out the form and brought it in on Sat. Approved for $3400 (I'll try for more when I get the card). Stoked for that 5% on gas! Even got a $30 coupon to use in store today, snagged 3 bottles of wine :-)
Well, when I got home, I was like, what the heck. I'll go for it. Filled out the app for the Amazon Visa, hit the button, crossed my fingers, watched the pinwheel spin.... Approved for $5000!!! and I got $70 Gift Card, whoo hoo!! I do have a mortgage with Chase for 15 years now, dunno how much, if any, that comes into play (only relationship I have with them)
Considering I had a few $300, landshark cards 2 years ago... This board has been so helpful.
DPs: Both cards HP Experain, which was 691 yesterday, 13 INQ prior to these 2. Neg: 180 late student loan (been fighting it, long story...) 2 years ago and a 30 day late on the mortgage over 2 years ago. Don't think there are any other cards out there I really want, gonna seriously take a stab at gardening for at least a year or so now. Maybe try for a 5/24 chase in the future.
Ok credit, getting better.....slowly.... Can't seem to stay in the Garden for any extended period of time. I'm trying. Mid to upper 600's across the board.
