I am in 14/24 Purgatory, I wanna see who else is with me LOL

So right now on New accounts my /6 and /12 numbers look good (0/6 and 4/12 respectively) but that darn 14/24 is uglySmiley Frustrated

 

In another thread I mentioned I was recently declined for Citi Custom Cash being 0/6 and 4/12 and one of the reasons was they were looking back at my new accounts the last 3 YEARS! OUCH! Smiley Surprised

 

So they say misery likes company Smiley LOL, so I wanna hear from those of you who are in my 14/24 range or higher and want to app but don't or have apped and got declined. I figure it might make for some interesting reading.

I'm at 8/24, not quite where you are, but enough to roadblock me from any cards on my wish list.  It'll be 7 months or so before that starts to go down.

New accounts, I'm 8/24. I'll be 7/24 new accounts in a few days and I'll be stuck at 7/24 till 03/23 😵‍💫. I wanted that Citi Custom Cash and this post just discouraged me for applying for it when I'm 0/12 inquires next year August 😭.

That three year bit hurts on the Custom Cash, makes me really wonder when I'll be able to get it. Are we going to start tracking /36 for Citi? Smiley Very Happy

 

And I am in a similarish boat - currently 1/6, 6/12, 12/24. In January I'll be 0/6, 4/12, 10/24 but if I wait until May I'll be 0/6, 1/12, 9/24. The plan has been to wait until May to be 1/12 for Cash+ but now I'm wondering if I go Affinity Cash Rewards in January and push back Cash+ to July. My credit scores will likely jump in June or July (a 120 day late will fall off) so it may be the better move.

EQ = 0/24

TU = 0/48

EX = 2/24 Smiley Frustrated

 

Sick of all these financial institutions loving EX so much. 

 

ETA: I thought this was inquiries...derp. No new accounts in 4 years. Great feeling.

Looking back at my past apps, apparently I actually got as high as 21/24 at one point.

 

I'm down to 4/24 and 1/12 now.  I'm holding out a little longer to let some inquiries fall off so I can app for the Elan MCP.  Then I'll go for the CSP after I let another /24 fall off... and maybe wait for a higher SUB.

I'm 8/24 which is why I was denied the C1 Savor this summer.  I think I have all the cards I want now so that number will be going down as I garden.  Ironic.
