Walmart and app srpee

I applied for the Walmart card as my wife likes shopping there, and was approved. Got the card and had to laugh at the limit--$150.00. All of my scores are lower 700's.  Called to request a CLI and after asking me how much I wanted, $2,000, 20 sec later APPROVED. I would have closed the account had they not given the increase. I had been on an app spree since Feb and applied for 16 cards, 15 approved. Major ones, Cabellas Visa, 4000 @ 11.9,  Discover it, 1,500  15.9,  BBVA, 4,500 @ 15.24 and a few store cards just for the free shipping and 25-30% off sales, I already shop at all of the stores that I now have cards for. Only decline was for Sears card--too many inquires. I only wanted that card for the appliances, when they offer special sales. I am done for now, I will  just sit back and wait until next March, and apply for the Chase Freedom and the Citi Simplicity.

16 cards in 2 months is a lot of cards and as you suggest I would be heading off to the garden for awhile. Grats on your Walmart card and subsequent CLI Smiley Happy
