-Chase is a fair reason for concern for me, but only because they have given me big lines thus far, and they have decent BT offers. The only card I use from them is my Freedom, and that's only for their 15 categories. I'll burrow the money as quick as I can and hold on.
-I have seen the discussions on keeping a sizeable BT open during the process, and I figured what better one than my 0%-for-life. I don't plan to take another personal BT with them anyway.
-Forgot that the AMEX Business Gold removed the 25k points from the TigerDirect deal. Replaced with AMEX Bus Starwood

Well bumpage has stalled. 3 straight days with 2/7/10 (TU/EQ/EX). It would be nice to at least get some of the EQ's off there, as my TU FAKO is significantly higher @ 759 with only 2 inq's. I know the debate rages on about the significance/insignificance of inq's, so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger before all of my closed/consolidate lines report. Cancelled Advanta today, so that is cleared for go on another app. No word on 13->20k "cracked BofA," but it hasn't changed online and if they've waited this long, I'm expecting a letter declining the CLI. Go time?

53 business is garbage $1500 CL when others are giving 10K see Link After 2 AOR's I would not bother with 53, WAMU, or HSBC.

Also, the life springs card you have listed is a 0 BT fee card.

-thisguy got 15k approval for 5/3 business here, I'll keep it in so you can laugh at me.
-Thanks for the tip on Lifespring, changed.

It seems they still offer 25k pts if I read the fineprint correctly.

Well, I'll be darned. It is still in there. They just stopped advertising it on the graphic. Back to the list it goes, thanks fafura!

Bumpage usually takes a while. If those 7 inquiries are over 6mo old, I'd forget about it and go for it. If younger... well, it's your call.

Hmm, only one of my inquiries is less than 6 month old (auto insurance), the rest are at least 12, and most over 18 month old. We'll see if the "old" inquiries will play any role. Been pulling pm123 since sept, but so far only 2 EQ dropped, and those seemingly because of them being past 2-year mark.

OP said:6) US Bank - 0% 12m BT, no feeoffer expired 09/30/07

I called, there is no ext. 8119, and the rep I talked to could not find such offer.

I need to update the list. Following Glitch99's suggestion here, I requested an offer from US Bank via their website to get the BT fee waived. He was then able to apply, mention the code, and get the above offer on for the Baylor card. I plan to do the same by calling for the above offer.

In other news, BofA declined my 12,300->20k CLI via letter, claimed they looked at Equifax. It must have been a soft pull, as it doesn't show up on either of my credit monitoring programs. Inq's remain the same, but FAKO's continue to rise with everything else equal, odd. I'll probably pull the trigger either Friday or next Monday morning. I want to avoid the weekend = deferred fiasco that happened to me last year.

I already opened my account with a $15k limit. But the terms have a 3% uncapped BT fee.

Only THEN did I email asking if I could get a no-fee promo, since "that had been what attracted me to the card and I hadnt noticed the terms had changed until after I had applied".

I doubt asking before you apply will get you anywhere, since they sent me a promo code to enter while requesting the BT, not when applying for the card.

Thanks for the clarification. We'll see what they reply with. If they can't help, then I'll prolly drop it from my list.

Checked soft pulls through TU, and it was going to take ~week or so to bump last 2. Who knows how long on EQ. I pulled the trigger. Constantly updating today.


alert mods    

Quite a few deferred, but none declined (phew).

Only BT I requested on App was $19k on Lifespring in hopes of gaining a $20k CL with room for BT fee to spare. Requested a BT to high-use Citi Diamond (5.8k limit), and going to try and request refund.

Will apply for Kohl's card this weekend, and SBoT checking account and Lasalle Bank checking account ($100 bonus + 2 $1,000 CC deposits as purchase @ 5% TYp = $200) on Monday.

Will call either later today or tomorrow (for those open) to check if CL's are available over phone, and request BT checks.

I went ahead and listed the CRA that each app pulled. For some reason, my TU inq's are not showing up right now. I assume the ones not listed will be TU. I'm glad that many pulled TU, as it was my highest/most bumped before beginning. Waiting until Monday to hear about the Citi, Chase and Discover apps is killing me, but I'll manage. I'll call Monday to check status and see about CLI's if possible. BofA NEA and one of the Juniper cards is reporting on EQ already.

Got a call from Citi today saying they approved my Citi Plat AMEX, and just wanted to know if I wanted to reallocate any. Saweet.

My TU inq's finally showed up, and right now it looks like Citi, Chase and Discover only pulled once for 2 apps each. My FAKO's are still hovering over 700, but when the new accounts show up, that will change for sure.

Was out shopping today, so I applied for the Best Buy Rewards Zone Mastercard and the Kohl's card for kicks. Denied for both, the gig is up!

EDIT: Penfed has comments on my app about "Income verification required for first time account holder." Any one know what this is about, what I will need, etc?

Got a call from a nice lady at Chase today. She was reviewing my Sony app and had a few questions. "You have quite a few recent inquiries..." I just told her I like to shop for new offers annually. She said she could do another $5k without have to decrease any of my other lines. I said great. Well Chase doesn't hate me....yet.

Reallocated and BT'd 13k from BofA NEA last night to checking account while discussing with CSR the Colts totally blowing the first half against the Chargers.

Advanta said they could do a mailed check to bank of choice before card immediately, but required card in hand to do it electronically. I chose to wait a couple days.

Applied for SBoT and Lasalle bank promotions today. Hopefully it doesn't take 3-4 weeks for SBoT, as I will be parking it in FNBO(5.05%) until then.

Started calling about app status. Declined for Lifespring - bummer. It was my first app, so the $19k BT I requested on my app must have spooked them. I got a couple more acceptances, but smaller CL's than I was hoping for. Discover was a success, and I should be able to consolidate onto Miles Biz for BT. AMEX Biz Gold was shipped UPS on Saturday and arrived on Tuesday (because of holiday). GE Money said that I'm not in their system, and that it should have shown up. They pulled my credit, so I know the app went through. I'll just watch the mail. Hope this is helping someone. Echo (echo) (echo)....

Got a few cards today. Advanta, ESPN, and both AMEX's are in. BT'd $9,000 from Advanta to checking ($90 fee). $13,000 from BofA is showing in FNBO today, that makes me happy. Received Penfed materials today, sending back in tomorrow, but still no notification about online notes about "Financial Verification". I reallocated my AMEX's to give me $43,400 available for 6 mo. BT on IN:Chicago. If I remember right, they recently changed the rules regarding their BT checks, and they are all (no matter who's name it's in) counted as Cash Advances, or atleast that's the CSR convinced me of. I'm trying to devise a way to BT to one of my cards to utilize it. Suggestions? I'll let you know what I come up with.
