Wife and I have been in the garden for a long time prepping for the right time to come out. Watching these boards and the GREAT support you all have for one another is beyond exceptional. So yes we had many denials along the way, but the doors that opened were REMARKABLE.
Out of GARDEN results are:
PenFed Approved $17000 just enough to balance transfer "hers" and "mine" at 4.99%.
Causing my UTILIZATION to plummet as my last baddie officially dropping off. Penfed also refinanced our 1 car at half the Santander rate (which we had to accept during a rough period (unfortunately)!
My Fico Score JUMPED from average 679 to an average (701 to 727) in one months time on all the bureaus as I have an exceptional payment history.
Now the Garden GREW as it was on STEROIDS...
Capital One - Approved Combo $2550 to $3550 (QS Closed)
Barclays Rewards $3500 to $6900
Barclay CLI NFL - Stays @ $2300 - Fail even after RCON call

Blispay APPROVED - $5000

Wife and have lived off one vehicle for ten years and we finally purchased her a NEW one through a credit union at a very nice rate...
Anyway, yes it has been busy spree out of the garden ---> but I am back in it for 2 years....
