I think Countrywide is as good of a choice right now as there is although who knows a week from now. They're at the top of my list for my early-stage AOR. Their 6-month CD is also at 4.75% right now so putting some into that may be good insurance.

Good luck!

Play the stocks????

in the 1974 Recession 80% of the nasdaq went under, the world has no clue of what COULD happen IMHO. Playing stocks right now is riskier than usual, but after the Recession, oh man will there be some bargain.

After the RE bubble burst in Japan, there stock market dropped 80% after about 14 years!!!! Its still down about 65% and it's been 19 years.

One good thing has been their % rates have fallen below 1%, currently the 30 year Mort. is about 3.5%. Their FED FUNDS rate has been as low as .25%.

I'm going to risk my savings (non-AOR), yearly bonus, and tax refund to invest $15k into China, and $5k into Latin America

Thats what we're trying to figure out, keep digging. Maybe the apps were canceled, maybe not.

i don't think they were cancelled, i just believe they have different processing centers, yet maybe the same underwriters? i'm assuming that all co-branded cards use different centers/numbers. i got my citi UPromise card today, different activation number and customer service number. same goes for the Chase GM Business card. i'll update as i get more results.

We are hoping for different centers, but it just seems to easy. but a few have gotten 5 approvals, so i'm sure there is a better combination that will get more approvals.

waiting

I recommend linking to your current card applications so others may use them. I did here and here. Your formatting is great but what helps people out are links.

Massive decline from chase (14/15). Not sure which one is which, but I'm assuming that the 15th is cancelled. Also received declines from State Farm and Associated Citibank.
