I love this forum and all of the great advice and info you all offer. After reading through the myFico forums, I figured, why not try for some CLIs? The CLIs increased my score a bit, which lead to an app spree! Here are my results:
Feb 28, 2014
Amazon Store Card $2200-->$5000 SP, Initial CLI $300, Recon to $5k
Ann Taylor $2800-->$3200 SP
Capital One $1100-->$4100 SP, PC’d to QS
Citi TYP (VS) $6500-->$7200 SP, P/C to Quicksilver
Home Depot $2500-->$8000 HP
Macy's $1200-->$2700 SP
Pier 1 $1500-->$2500 SP
Total Rewards (VS) $8000-->$10k SP - Luv button $400 ea; APR change from 22.99% to 13.99%
Mar - April 2014
Amex Everyday $10k EX, Instant approval
Best Buy MC $5k EX, TU 7-10 day mssg, called to verify ID, Initial limit 3k, recon to $5k
B of A CR (VS) $8k EX, 30 day mssg, logged in chkg next day and saw the new acct
Discover It $8500 EQ, 7-10 day mssg, called, verified income, employment
Citi Simplicity $13k EX, Instant approval (using for a BT)
Thank you, everyone for sharing your wealth of knowledge! I know I wouldn’t have been bold enough to pull the trigger if it weren’t for this great forum. I feel a little anxious about all the new TL’s, but I’m looking forward to my scores growing in the future, especially as my accounts and mortgage age. I’ll have several Inquiries fall off in Oct and Dec (from mortgage shopping in 2012 and a few new accts for “new house” stuff), so that should bump me up a few points.
My latest credit scores reflect the CLIs, payments on a few accounts and 3 of the new accounts reporting. I’ll see what the app spree effect is in the coming months. I am content to garden for a long time!

Congrats! Thanks for sharing.
