more, more, more!!! 
I am soooo glad that I was/am not the ONLY one who kinda went on an app spree recently! I too have received some denials but for the most part I got MORE approvals. I went a really long time with out even trying to apply for fear of being denied BUT if you don't try you don't take a chance at having. Thanks to the wonderful ppl on here who are so full of credit knoweledge that I broke out of that shell and am looking at building my credit in a positive way!! I took care of 3 baddies and got goodies now so I am officially NEGATIVE FREE---WOOOHOOO sorry I'm a little proud of myself 
and the accomplishements I have achieved! Congrats to you and much credit success to ya!!!

LOL!!! No I think that I am done...for quite a while. These new accounts will serve a purpose. Most will be sock-drawered and used every few months for a cup of coffee or a tank of gas, then PIF. I know better now. I know what to do with credit when I get it: make it work for me, and the other way around!! :-)

Doesn't it feel GREAT?!!!!! As I said b4, it's been a long time. And in time, we will get approval everyt ime!!!! We just need to be careful and take care of what we have accomplished and use what we have learned here on the forums. Can't wait for the BK to fall off!! I am hoping for 700s across the board!!!!
Congrats to you on your approvals as well!
These are eight new accounts. Hopefully, it will work out for you. I think applying for so many cards is a bit foolish, though. I can see that you want to get "done" but you also got many minimal CL cards out of the deal (except maybe that $1000 card). If these limits are good for you, then fine.
You might have a good array of store cards, but it'll be more difficult to grow these limits unless you use each one on a monthly basis and hope for an increase over time. Honestly, that would be way too many cards for me to handle.I'd rather be approved for a regular VISA/MC with a nice limit than a bunch of small cards. Also, I am kind of skeptical of store cards that are very limited in their use. But that's just me. A lot of people like them.
And I thought that I had been a bad boy, adding three accounts to my portfolio in two months.

This is a bit harsh, don't you think? I would not apply for a store card that I didn't use. I was approved for, I think 3 or 4 store cards. I will use these cards, so I know that they will grow. Yes, I do like them, and will use them wisely as I have learned a great deal here. The store cards that chose have really good rewards, coupons, etc. So the benefit will be two-fold.
Also, I received 2 cards with $1000 CL, one with a $2000 CL and an increase of $1000 on an existing cc. So, you should look carefully before you criticize. This forum is to offer help, not to insult. My scores were below 500 when I started on myFICO. I couldn't buy a cc account back then. I am pleased that I can now apply for a cc, and most of the time get an approval, even if the CL is low to start. You are not going to make me feel badly. I am still happy with ALL of my new accounts. Just because you would have done it differently, doesn't make it wrong....
