Recent App Spree Success

[Anonymous]

So last year at this time, exactly a year, scores were sub 600 and was just learning about repairing credit etc. Through the knowledge of this board (lurked for a long time)...have been able to get to 730+ on all 3 CB’s. Started with the typical CO secured card, worked way up to a couple other small cards. Was finally confident enough to apply for some I felt that I wanted and honestly, didn’t know if I would have a shot at. Results

Citi Best Buy VISA- 2k SL. Not huge compared to what I see on here for some, but was happy

Discover IT Miles- 2k SL

Amex BCE 1k

Chase Freedom 4.3k

Chase Sapphire Preferred 7.2k

Was very happy with the Chase cards as I never would of imagined a year ago that I would have these.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who contributes on this site, extremely helpful to so many people!

Nice job. No sweating the Best Buy, that's almost standard sl. You can grow it as needed

I was shocked with the CSP honestly. I kept under the 5/24 for the last year, waiting to apply for the Freedom. That one made 5/24. Then apped for Citi and then Discover and Amex.

Against my better judgement (or so I thought) I threw out an app for the CSP, honestly not planning on being approved due to recent apps etc. I was technically 7/24 (have 3 CO cards, platinum, QS1 and QS from a year ago) when I apped for CSP. Gave me 30 day message, 3 days ago. They called today for identification verification, took 5 minutes and was approved over phone. Was actually surprised, but was very glad. All I need for a good while. Will hibernate with these and let the dust settle.
