So Sunday i decided to try again for a cc from my local bank of 20+ years Banco Popular. Ive been blacklisted hard since bk, harder than Amex, Citi etc, and they were the only FI i could not get back in with. Mind you, their cards arent great but rhat wasnt the point. To get back in not only would complete my rebuild but maybe open up avenues for other help if i ever needed , ie loans etc ( i hope) ive wasted many a hp to get zilch lol.
Filled in app, which went smoothly. Monday morning received a hp on TU and a phone call about 9 :30 am. I usually dont pick up #s i dont know but since i know i applied for credit could be them. Verified some personal info, i have a fraud alert, and somewhere in that convo, i heard approved.uhm what? APPROVED
. Limit is $1700 but i dont care ( with my current debt im suprised not to get $200 haha) lol Mission accomplished😊
Card is on the way woo hoo , already in my home account. Comes with a 6 month 1.99 apr purchase promo and $50 SUB for $1k spend in 3 months. Earns 1.5 % cashback. Meh, but not the point haha!. Everyone knows i was short $76 to break $300k in credit and with this approval that pushes me to $301,624 in credit available. When i got off the phone my coworker asked why i was so giddy, i just said Im BACK ....with a bank im not too fond of lol. Thanks everybody been quite the journey.

Congratulations AJC. Way to go. I guess now you can comfortably relax in the garden.
Thanks @SPChaser for kind words.
@SouthJamaica couldnt say it better myself. Now to try and keep paying down my debt and see where i can be at the end of this year. Now no need to push the envelope. Only thing that would make my day would be a cli from Disco buti can persevere without one lol
Congratulations @AverageJoesCredit !
I sit at about 1/6th of that 300k with 6 cards, 8 if counting my 2 NPSL cards.
Does your portfolio weigh more with CLI or new accounts?
..did you acquire new cards every year or focus on CLI & gardening some years?
..did you remove cards too over the course of time?
Thanks!
Forget juju of any sort @AverageJoesCredit
Yours is pure raw uncut persistence and never giving up.
Congratulations on your NEW MILESTONE $300K TCL Banco Popular approval! WTG!!
