App Spree Success!

I left the garden to apply for a few cards to get some free hotel stays on a grand Europe vacation I'm planning this summer/fall with my wife, and all three were a success!

 

US Bank Club Carlson - approved, $4.5k limit

Chase Hyatt - approved, $10k limit (which is surprising, seeing as I already had 3 other Chase cards with total limits of 12.5k, and I have heard they can be particular about the total credit they extend to someone)

AmEx Hilton - approved, limit unknown (getting the card in 2-3 days).

 

I was particularly nervous about these, as I got denied for AmEx SPG 3 months ago, and when I apped for US Bank Cash+, got the Cash Rewards card instead (which I've *barely* used each month). Glad to be approved and on schedule for my travel plans. Now to meet all these minimum spend requirements Smiley Very Happy

Re: App Spree Success!

US Bank pulled TU. They pulled EQ when I apped for Cash+ in November. They pulled my wife's TU when *she* apped for Cash+ in November.

 

Sadly, got a triple pull from Chase Smiley Sad I'm thinking it's probably because I just recently moved, and I think EQ (which they usually pull for me) was the only bureau that hadn't updated it yet, so it may have been to verify my address or something. Maybe also 'cause I just got a Chase card in November on my last app spree!
