So I'm still happily gardening; a few measly days away from silver spade. I also have to confess that I had really bad app itch for SW Visa from chase due to the signup bonus. It could save me $750 in airfare over the summer.
I refrained... and got home from vacation to find my first prime pre approval in the mail... citi diamond preferred.
I have no desire even remotely for a citi card... but it feels good to be wanted...
So anyways... gardening is not without its struggles but I'm determined to stay the course.
It does, doesn't it?
Congrats on your will power.

Upgrading to my silver spade today! Ideally, I'd like to stay in the garden until June. I'm hoping a SP CLI on my Gap card will help quell the itch that is coming on!
Lookin' good!!!

This one is bothering me. Every time I log into my Chase account I see the ad for it on the home page, and whenever I watch anything on YouTube I'm also getting their banner ad that pops up. I actually like SW/Airtran, and now the rewards are interchangeable which makes it even better.
Have to stay strong (actually, it's not too bad right now) - the only thing that would uproot me would be a PenFed preapproval, and that has about as much chance of happening as Spring time in Ohio right now.
So seriously, I'm back now.
Time to release the itch and I really think I'll finally be okay .
I guess I'm lucky, because there's really nothing left out there that I want. I'm happy with what I have and I feel like my bases are pretty well covered as far as what I want from a portfolio of cards. No itches to report... just sitting here happily admiring the view.
I have just crossed the 4 month mark
I have had all my reports frozen but my TU freeze has been lifted for the the whole month of March and I have stayed committed to being in the garden!! I think it is getting easier! I do feel a tad bummed that my scores have not really increased though. I guess I expected there to be some explosion of score increase by now..lol~ perhaps soon
I just received a SW alert. My Freedom has started reporting, and as expected, I got a new credit ding. My EQ score went down 15 points!!! That's an ouch, but the card was worth getting, so now the only thing to do is sit back and wait for my score to recover. After all, that's one of the things that the Garden is for. So I'm updating the score in my siggy from 749 to 734 and then sitting back and enjoying a Long Island Iced Tea. I'm so grateful for the GC!!!

You have still exceeded your starting scores for 2013 even with the Freedom reporting. Only up from here!!
