Shouldn't have done that! Approved for WM and Credit One cards expecting better results.

Yes, I got approved for the WM Mastercard and the Credit One AMEX. $1k each. I had told myself I would not fall into Credit One's clutches again, yet the Experian app brought it up under my offers. I had figured I would get a decent SL, since Cap One and Mercury both gave me $3k and Upgrade Card gave me $10k. Nope, preapproval at Credit One turned into a $1k line and I overestimated the WM approval too, since it's Cap One, I thought I could get another $3k line. No cigar...another $1k. Sigh...well, I should have known better, but I do have a couple more cards in my satchel now, at least. In the back of my mind I am thinking that I need to call and close the Credit One. Feedback appreciated, give it to me straight up, no chaser. Smiley Wink

Congratulations on your approvals! I would keep the cards for now since you already took the HPs for them. Does the Credit One Amex have an AF?

Yes, but not as bad as a previous account I had with them. $39 AF. Seems my last CR 1 card had a big annual fee spread out as monthly.

Congratulations on your approvals!

 

I would definitely keep the Walmart card if you shop there at all! Especially with the holidays coming up. 

My credit one hits 1 year either Dec or jan and I'll be closing before the annual fee hits. I didn't even bother ever putting it in my signature. Haha

Congratulations on the cards! 

I too prefer my whisky straight! I would dump the CreditOne if you can before it hits your CR. It's 1% cash and with the AF, you need to put 4K to justify and then the growth potential is limited. Focus on your NFCU card and building that up. Just my two cents! 

Good luck and congrats!
