I just vicariously app'd for Blispay through my dad. He got the verification message then recieved an approval email yesterday. I think it still counts as "In the Garden." However, he also added me as an AU to his Chase Amazon rewards card. Can I still be in the garden if an AU account iss added?

Just completed a successful five card spree. Now I'm happily off to garden for 6-12 months!

Sadly, I lost my Platinum Spade yesterday after 14 months of gardening. But I traded it for the Hilton Honors Surpass Card from Amex. I needed it since I am beginning a new position requiring quite a bit of overnight travel.

I am happy to finally be at a point after 5 years of rebuilding where I can get accepted for whatever I need yet have enough will power to not apply for just anything.

Checking myself back in as long as it's still only a soft pull

Life has been quite busy but now I am back with a new job, a new engine for the car, and better health.

Hope everybody here is doing well and gardening strong!

Official check in for month 2.  Got a nice little bump back on my scores after my apping (8-15 pts-new ones in sig).  I think some of this was due to a BT I did to bring one TL under 22% that was over 40% (0% on new couch).   Also got Amex CLI of $10.2K (now 30k) and a Disco CLI of $3.2k (now 22.2k). Have so far managed to not click on my Chase CSP offer - I have a high CL with them now so thinking the SL wouldnt be worth the hit point - but there at 50k points just waiting for me..... LOL

GARDEN CLUB CHALLENGE AND RECOGNITIONS:

Garden Club Challenge: Pick a firm date for staying in the garden and post it in your siggy!
Garden Club recognition levels: To qualify, your reports must contain:
No new tradelines of any type on one's accounts (this includes any backdated account, as they are STILL new "seedlings").
No HPs for anything that would allow for the possibility of a new tradeline being issued or increasing the CL of an existing tradeline.

But don't forget...

Now, if you happen to leave the garden prematurely, that's your decision and we respect that. You are always welcome to come back, pick up your gardening tools and start over again.

So it's a slip, a rule that wasn't completely understood. Just reset your date and keep going.

I can totally relate, pizza! I haven't been a bastion of strength either. Hoping to be stronger this time around!
