Winter Mini-Spree :)

Went on a small winter spree... went on a crazy streak last year so luckily the majority have aged at least a year and I think I got a lineup that is netting me rewards for things I already buy, but I've become disciplined enough to not just blow money to 'get rewards'. It was not easy to finally be able to flex that muscle, but it feels good especially since in Feb 2015 I was barely approved for my $500 Cap1 platinnum card with scores around 590's. Scores are now TU 703, EQ 723, EX 702 -- still got room to go, but 750's here I come! Thanks myfico'ers -- I've gotten so much accomplished from the insight of this community! It's Awesome!

 

With these updates heading back to the garden until Nov 2017...but may shoot for May 2018 Smiley Happy

Nice increases and approvals! Which Marvel did you choose? I would love to have one of those cards, but I know I won't use it - just love the card with the Spiderman design on it!

Congratulations! Smiley Happy

Thanks! I got the Captian America card -- I got it becuase all cards I came across for Dining were 2%/2pt (except CSR - they are also 3% but WAAY over 5/24 here lol). Its actually not a bad card -- 3% on Dining (which I do alot), but also 3% on theme parks, movie theaters, digital content (my Apple itunes music) and a few others. So i set it up to pay for all my apple junk and primary dining card. 3% cash back will add up Smiley Happy

 

6% Groceries w/BCP, 5% Gas w/PenFed, 3% Dining w/Marvel, 3% Gas Stations w/BoA, 2% Citi DC for all the bills -- between these 5 cards I bank about $65 a month just in cash back Smiley Happy It's not gonna pay the mortgage, but it's money I wouldnt have otherwise back so I'll take it!
