My apps status from this site.

Oh well, we live only once and I might as well face it and enjoy the excitement. In the last 24 hours, I pulled the trigger on this site and applied for 4 cards I liked.

Citi Bronze / AA Approved for $5K CL

Citi Hilton Honors / 7-10 Day Message

Discover Monogram / Declined

Fidelity 529 Amex Card / After filling out app it took me Fidelity Website. No message if my app was approved or declined or even confirmation it is submitted. Have to wait and see what happens.

So now my advice is, stay away from Discover/Amex cards from this site unless your scores are in 700's. If your scores are under 700 then go for Citi / Iberia cards. ( I have not apped for Iberia).

I had my fun and enjoyed. Oh well, I'll take a hit my scores with inquiries. I live only once and might as well have the fun for the sake of it. Now that I got at least one prime card out this effort, I am happy. Can not complain.

Monday, I'll freeze my Credit Reports for 12 months and I'll start closing my secured card accounts and get the money back and save it towards the house down payment.

Now I am going to enjoy my life and new cards and have some fun for few days. Hay, I had fun. We all live once. Might as well make the best of it.

Go for it and app for it. I thought I would never get the citi card because of a paid/collection. For my biz I have 14 biz cards and out of which 8 are from citi. Lol, they would give my biz a card but not for me. I am so thrilled when I got the message I am approved. That is the best news I ever heard. I thought for next 2-3 years I might not get a card from citi. This really made my day. When I get the card, I am going to go out and buy my self a drink and celebrate. I just can not wait.

Monday, I am going to freeze all three CR's for 12 months with exception of purchasing a home. I want to call CRA's and find out more about freezing and how it works.
