I had a mini app spree in December, so I left off a few weeks ago swearing that I was gonna go farm for awhile and cultivate (grow) my cards. Well, that lasted 5 minutes. I got a wild hair yesterday after receiving my updated credit scores. My scores took major dives after my Deceomber spree... down 45-60 points each. I knew they'd recover once the dust settled, but I just couldnt leave them there. On the one hand I'm pleased with the outcome, but on the other hand...just how much credit does one person need. I love what it does to my utilization though...but I digress.
So, I apped for 8 cards. I've never had a Barclays so I applied for the Ring Visa. The instant response said they'd get back to me. Later, I saw the Princess Cruise Line Barclays and apped for it as well. I got the "we'll let you know" message again. Had I seen the Princess card first I wouldnt have applied for the Ring Visa. I'm tempted to call Barclays and tell them nevermind on the Ring application...I only want the Princess card. What do you guys think?? Also, I applied for the Chase Marriott (again!). I just dont learn...cant accept that they dont want me. LOL. But I keep getting the offers for it, so I'm confused. Evidently I love the way Chase tells me "No." I have a zero balance on my Chase Freedom with no intension of ever using it again. Its my silent protest for not approving my Marriott card 5 times ago.
I was approved for:
USAA Rewards Visa (another one!) $6K
Target $300
Home Depot $500
Old Navy $1000
Citi HiltonHonors Reserve $7K
USAA Amex Rewards (another one!) $11K
Williams-Sonoma Visa $2K
Crate & Barrel $7K
For some reason USAA is showing me lotsa love. I'd say apply there if you can get in.
