Small App Spree

Now that I'm baddie free which resulted in a 75pt spike across the boards, I wanted to test the waters with a few cards that were instant denials last year:

 

BoA Cash Rewards 1-2-3 Siggy: Instant Approval 5k CL

 

Chase Freedom: Instant Approval 7500 CL

 

USAA Amex (I've been with USAA since 1996 and they've never approved me for ANY type of credit...): Instant Approval 13500 CL (My largest CL across all cards!)

 

I also app'd Fidelity Amex, but is pending review.

 

This little spree let me better know where I stand and know that I'll be approved when I'm ready to get SWA siggy Visa w/ 50,000 point offer.  United and American Mileage cards, and Amex Gold PRG when they offer 50k points again, too.

5/2012: 560 credit scores across the board
12/2014: 750+
3/2017: 780+
11/2019: 833
2/2023: Experian via Chase United Explorer CC pull - 891

Re: Small App Spree

Congrats. Now, next week apply for a Chase Slate and get the same limit. Then, combine the limits onto your Freedom and close the Slate.

Congrats!  You should check card match because the 50K offer is back out along with the 100K for the Platinum
