I must be doing something right ...

I got my first pre-approval in the mail today.

 

First Premier wants to hook me up with a $700 Mastercard.

 

Smiley Surprised

 

While I wouldn't touch them with a 10 ft pole after the fee load they put on my wifes account, it's the first time in about 7 years I've got a pre-approval for anything.

 

Looking forward to the day we move to prime-land across the board.

Congarts on the first mail offer ........NOW RUN Smiley LOL

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
