No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I've got a few:
1. Get rid of last remaining 3 negatives - chances of achievement are really high because all are set to fall off between now and Mar 2014 so I'm aiming at success before then.
2. All scores over 720 - chances of achievement by 2013 are dependent upon #1
3. Discover IT - CLI to at least $5K, 50/50 chance of achievement since they are so conservative
4. Barclays Rewards - CLI to at least $5k, chances of achievement are 80% if #1 and #2 above are achieved.
5. Get my 1st single CL over $10K - this will occur with NFCU and chances of achievement are high that this will be achieved within 6 months.
Pay off the credit cards.
Then save for larger down payment to purchase new vehicle.
Finish downgrading most of the annual fee cards I had gotten for various sign up bonuses the prior year, and see if Amex would be willing to raise the CL on my personal SPG to about $35K.
PS - Wouldn't mind increasing the line on our business blue either.
1) Save moar money! ~$7,000+
2) Get new car ($1,500 downpayment)
3)Save for trip to cancun ($2,500-$3,000 for flight and resort for two)
4)Get emergency fund to $3,600 (I'm doing it slowly but surely! I'm already 1 month ahead of schedule, I might be able to get 4 months ahead if this month goes well!)
5) Garden until at least 03/2014 (If I don't find a home / car that would be stupid not to get asap)
6)Wait for my AAoA to grow
1. Credit score of 750
2. Lower APR on my Discover IT
3. Convert Orchard card to Capital One platinum Prestige
Garden!!! I have the app bug. I think it some sort of immediate gratification, validation acceptance thing. SO I am going to work on improving my CRs. Try to grow some of my limits to the 5K club.
