Hope it's not the Gold Master Card, $995 AF is a little on the high side.
1. Melt card
2. Extract gold
3. ???
4. Profit!
Now you don't even have to worry about SDing the card since it's not there anymore!

Any feedback is greatly appreicated.
You, too? I thought this only happened to me...

WOW, that was fast. I will just hang on to it, use it for a small purchase and probably forget i have it for about 6 months and maybe use it just to keep it open for the less than 50% of cards with a balance fico rule. I do AZEO, so its not really an issue either way
If it helps at all, when I added my $500 Pier1 card (my only store card), I got a FICO boost from "very good" to "exceptional" on the credit mix part. Even though I only use it to buy a new serving bowl or something every 3 months, this little card has been very beneficial. Maybe your Gamestop can do that for you.

Sorry it will report. ☹️ I’m curious what card it was but you don’t have to say if you don’t want to.
Its the gamestop at the end of my sig. i honestly have no idea why, but i did.. only thing i can figure is i'm mostly at the point where i just have to let it all age, but i have been so focus on building that this waiting feels like i'm not working on it anymore.
Take a break from the forums. 😉 I had to when I was supposed to be in the garden and I applied for the Amazon and care credit, and AARP in September. I forgot about applying for cards for four months and lost the desire to apply anytime soon, got to get my accounts to age and get all their credit limits up! 😊😊
Only use it if you want the game though...

I hope it doesnt come to that, but i do need to find something to add into and keep me distracted more
Jago, besides the normal try going for apr redux, cli increases via sp, do as i do , hop around the forum and just be an ear to our fellow members. Offer some support and advice when needed. It does help curb the need for new cards. I could try and walk away from the forum for awhile but i dont think i could lol, just a blast .
lol yesterday i was at the house of a lady that i help out once in awhile and we started talking credit and she was blown away how much i knew and asked me how i knew all that. Simply i told her myFico.
