Reached Out of the Garden Real Quick...

Greetings to All,

I decided to put one foot out the garden gate while leaving the other firmly planted in the soil right by the veggies. I proceeded to obtain a travel card for my upcoming trips.

I had an offer for the Amex Gold for 50k and 4k spend, but I went with the Amex Platinum 60k for 5k spend, as a result of already having dining and grocery cards for now. Although, it wasn't the elusive 100k SUB, I will be using it alot, so it's okay.

Approved!, not instant, I had to call and answer a few questions about military connections and such. Yesss! SP Approval. NPSL but internal limit is at $4000. They informed me that the first 6 months is crucial in pattern development. Duly noted!

This my second personal Amex card within 7 months.

Since, I still had that foot out, I figured I would call up NFCU and ask about their prequal tool. The rep asked some basic questions and lo and behold I was prequalified for ALL cards. So I figured I'd go big or go home. I selected the Flagship for 2x the reward points for non-category spend. The 50k SUB for 4k spend was nice as well! Well the suspense was killing me (as if she was doing it on purpose, reading all the fine print)...

Approved! Wait for it....20K SL/APR 15.24%....I love, love, love, Navy! This is my 2nd NFCU card. They pulled TU, received alert 5 minutes after. I was approved 3 months ago for a 3x CLI on my CR, so no SP luv for me.

What a way to end 2019! I am literally set. I have cards for all my needs. Now I have taken that foot and set it with the other next to the veggies. A seedling again, but happy to water my new additions and continue my credit journey!

Thank you all of you awesome MF'ers (MyFicoers) for your advice and experiences! You guys are the reason!!!
