Re: New forum: Credit Card App Approvals -- 10/25/13

Thanks for the heads up!

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Just a thought but aren't pre-approvals related directly with credit cards. I believe it's going to cause confusion. Either way these forums are great and very helpful.
I currently in the process of rebuilding my credit. Experian has me at 740 and I've had a WF $500 secured card for about 2 years. I just recently got Macy $300 - Walmart $200 - Bank of America $500 (secured) - Chase Freedom $1K - Kohls $300 - JCrew $300 - Barclaycard - 1K - Buckle $300 - Sears Mastercard $400 - BestBuy Mastercard $400 - Guess I am gardening since Dec 31, 2013 for at least 6 months. Im screwed up during the holidays and acquired 6 new credit cards. Its so difficult!

@surgemorales

Pre-approvals, pre-quals yes. Approvals and successful CLI's have a board all their own.

This change will make this forum more bearable.  I stopped visiting as often due to the plethora of "I got approved" posts.  Nothing wrong with that; but I'm interested in credit card rewards and such.  I'm sure there are others that feel the same way.
