From the various people I've seen, the upgrade to HTML seems to be a combination of posts and time. If you post a lot, it is a shorter time period, or so it seems to me.

Thanks for the welcome and the kudos.

I can see this gardening thing is going to be tough. Got home a little while ago and the Amex BCE arrived in all it's clear plastic splendor.

Received an eMail from Amazon that the rewards card has shipped and received two other 'pre-approved' offers that I put in the trash un-opened.

I must resist.

BCE is perty I love the way little rainbows dance on the blue square when the light hits it

Hola GC! Paid balances down to $0 in Nov, EQ dropped 11 pts, TU dropped 16 and EX stayed the same. Still makes no sense to me that not having any debt causes a score decrease but ok. Experimenting a little by letting all cards report a balance this month then pay them off one by one No need for micro managing at the moment so Im trying out a couple different ideas. Have a great day!

After luking in the shadows, I decided to post today.  I snuck out of the garden temporarily.  I decided to do some online shopping at walmart.com.  I got the pop up and decided to go for it. (gardening for a mere two weeks).  Received a $1000 cl.  I have applied several times and was denied.  Then I thought well lets try this again.  Texaco/chevron card approved for $700.  Last week I got a CLI from Amazon as well!  Very excited!!  Back to the garden I go.

How did you get Chevron to pop-up? What site was you on? Also, I didn't know Wal-Mart do the popup...hmmn

There was no pop-up on the Chevron.  I was checking out at walmart and it offered a $25 credit for applying.  So pop up might not be the correct term.  I had not seen that link in the past though.

Happy Holidays to all...

I finally made it back up to a Gold Spade...yay! This is the hardest part of the year to stay in the garden, but if I've made it this far, the next few months should be a breeze. I beat the Citi DC temptation, as well as the Diner's Club, so if no other "seductive" offers come around, my next couple of spade upgrades should be easy...I hope.
