Thanks to all the tips I've reiceved from everyone here I had an amazing end to 2015 and even better start to 2016. Early to Mid 2015 I had low to mid 600's scores with my highest card being my Barlcay Rewards card at $3850.00.
Around Thanksgiving last year I was approved for my first "big" card when I was approved for the CSP.
So far this year for the month of January I have been able to add a total of 7 cards out of the 8 I have applied for.
Lowes - $15K
Home Depot - $10K
AMEX PRG - 50K offer
AMEX Everyday - Denied
Cap 1 Visa - $3K
CITI Simplicty - $1800 - Tried to recon higher SL but no dice.
I tried to garden but this week I applied for 2 more Chase cards.
Chase Amazon Visa - Approved for $1500 (I really only applied for the free $80 Amazon GC offer)
And today I applied for the Chase Marriot Premier Card as I am planning on using Marriott for a few trips this year. After a quick call to Fraud verifications department I received an approval of $5K. 50K MR bonus offer and $200 Marriott gift card after $3k spend in 3 months plus the AF waived first year.
So that puts me at 3 Chase cards in a little over 2 months and 7 approvals In the month of January. Needless to say I am beyond happy and I should probably garden now.
Thanks again to this wonderful forum!
