Re: When were you content?

I got the last 2 cards I wanted (BCP & CSP) 3 months ago. I am content with my current portfolio.

I am wondering when you all were content with your credit cards/profiles?  You know, the moment you decided you did not need to apply for anything else?  Was it a specific card, limit on a card, or total limits?  I'm curious!


For me, it was the Chase Freedom and getting in with American Express. With that said, I also wanted Discover, but they declined me - twice. So I am not worried about them for now. I am pretty content with my cards - not with my limits of course, but with my cards. Plan to garden these for the time being. Could I use better cards, of course, always. But my credit profile does not support better cards right now, so I am content.

Re: When were you content?

In reference to Credit Cards, I'll be fully content once I have a USAA MC, AMEX and a Chase in my wallet.  In reference to Credit Score, I'll be easily content with a 720!!! With the cards I currently have, I'm Gardening to get my limits to grow and my inquiries to fall off. To be totally honest, I'm very pleased with what I currently have. I just want LARGER limits!!! Smiley Very Happy

Re: When were you content?

I'd say I'm content now.  I went from 2450 to 35k+ in limits in a week.  In addition to the cards in my signature, I have a mystery US Bank card (hopefully Cash + Visa Signature) in the mail.  No more credit cards for a long time.  I need to garden for student loans.  Smiley Happy

Re: When were you content?

I'm content with my overall credit profile right now.  Have several high-limit cards:

 

AMEX BCP 18k - NFCU Plat - 25k - Care Credit - 18k, Lowes - 20k

 

I'd like a nicer limit on my Discover IT - 5k 

 

Besides that, I'll be happy to pay off my car & truck - about $2500 total.

 

There are no other cards I really need.  I'll do my happy dance when my 3 FICO's hit 760.

 

**Woo Hoo!  Update...just looked at my Discover IT & they raised my limit from 5k to 5500! 

BK 7 discharge 06.24.2020 No Fico score at all. Smiley Sad

Re: When were you content?

I'll be happy once I get a Chase Sapphire Preferred and AMEX Gold, also once I have 5 figure credit limits and a score over 720. I'll get there!

I  "will be" content in about 6 weeks when my PR drops off of EQ.  Hopefully my score will get to the 800 spot with the other two.
