What was I thinking???? Probably greed.

When it comes to repeating mistakes, your lookin at the King, you wouldn't believe it. I was not judging you at all, it just seemed like a futile effort headed for a negative response and no one likes negative responses.

I really wish you good luck.

It's awfully easy to get the brain stuck in hunter's mode, what with planning your own app'ing plus staying revved up from reading all the posts here. Probably no damage done, and I think I've done quite a few things that were goofier!

I appreciate your candor Jack and your honesty. I am practicing an exercise in futility if I keep pressing my ccc's for increases and I would literally be stuck on stupid. I just need to be patient and do the basics for now that have lead to the 3 increases that I received already this week. Pay on time without fail. Always pay above the minimum if I am not able to pay the balance in full. Keep my card utilization low. Stay on MyFico.

I have found PATIENCE is the best attribute to have while playing this credit game, seriously. It sounds to me like you've got a great plan and that's what you need. Not judging, just observing. haha

lando, don't feel bad. I do the same thing. HSBC is really firm in looking only once in a 6 month time period, but it sure doesn't stop me from trying!

The urge to hit the love button, is so overwhelming for me at times. Either that or apply for another card.

And for crissakes I just got a Macy's card last week! They have a fantastic 1 day sale tomorrow. I'll be there when the stores open at 7am.

Then I'll be alllllll through with Christmas shopping! For everybody! yayyyy
