Wells Fargo Cash Back Visa Signature $6K

 

If you update this thread with a new credit card approval, in addition to the card and the limit, please post what your new card offers uniquely toward your credit plan, or how the rewards are unique and valuable to your current spending habits.

 

If you can't articulate a logical, sensible rationale for getting a card, don't apply for it.

 

Yes, dad. Sheesh.

OK, I'll play the game...

 

5% cash back on gas, groceries and drugstores (Target and Walmart count) for the first 6 months. My best gas, groceries and drugstore card is 2%.

0% APR for the first 15 months, in case I need to carry a balance for some reason.

$600 cell phone protection if you pay your bill with the credit card.

DBF Nick, British Airways from Chase, $24K instant approval, 50,000 Avios, $2,000 spend in three mos. We will near 200,000 soon, waiting for 200K so we can go crazy. And I will read and re-read the link that Tyra sent me. and then re-read it again. Lots of AmEx MRs available for conversion when good exchange possible...

 

Thanks to whoever mentioned that... now to wait to chase AA card for optimal sign-on.

I just got a $1,000 CLI on my Capital One Quicksilver with a SP. I'm up to $11,000 now. :rofl:

 

Rar!

 

Lemme guess: 22nd highest limit?

 

 

Last time I opened my spreadsheet from Dropbox on a flight I couldn't save it and it got corrupted. So let's just say that's close.

Most recent I can think of ........

 

Capital One - Quicksilver Signature Visa $10k - I was dead in the water with the Cap1 Platinum ex-HSBC $100 signing bonus after spending $500 in 3 months. Done!

Bank of America Cash Rewards Visa $7.5 k $100 signing bonus after spending $500 in 3 months (done!) 0% until June 2016

Sam's Club MC - $4k (already have a Sam's "store" card at $10k) - reason? the perks

Chase Freedom Visa $8.5k *have always wanted one* 0% til June 2016

Amazon Chase Visa $4.5k - again there are some good perks 3% rewards at Amazon; I use the Amazon store card to carry 0% promo balances

Amex Blue Everyday Cash $5k - 0% APR til Sept 2016

 

Winner of most piddling credit limit ever:

 

Citi DoubleCash MC $500 :-\ I have many other Citi cards and I have max exposure with them, so I'd have to close something else to get this one higher. Reason I wanted this 2% on everything.

18th. It went from being tied for 18th to holding the 18th spot all by itself. This card in on fire.

 

Trivia: It's my oldest open credit card at just over five years. :lol:

Had a mailed Amex Biz Platinum offer sitting on my desk for 150,000 MR after 15,000 spend. Decided to app today since I'm only looking to add business cards for the rest of the year.

 

So approved for the Business Platinum and then also a Business SPG at $6,000. Ex at 738 today.

Thanks, had a bunch of other spend to finish up on other cards for my wife and I. Now that I am about done with that, I guess I am ready to tackle this 15,000 plat card. 😀

Lowes 2k recon to 15K for 10% fathers day sale on new washer and dryer. Also since i just became a homeowner, this card will come in handy for the ongoing 5% off or special financing.

 

Cap 1 Venture 15K for free $430 in travel money.

I decided to try to get two Amexes again today.

 

That PRG 50K offer seems gone, so I went with the standard offer through a referral link from mendelssohn. Approved!

 

Then I went for the ED through a referral link from HL. Approved for $2K! The limit sucks, but the 29 year trade line doesn't. :good:

Online CLI request for my Fidelity Amex. I asked to go from $9K to something like a $20K or $25K line. Instant approval for $16.7K! This is now my highest line, and it takes me to over $50K in trade lines. Next stop, $100K!

I requested a CLI this morning for my $2K Amex ED. I almost asked for a CLI for my $6K BCE, but I didn't want the rejection. Not because I'm afraid of rejection, but because I don't want to wait 90 days before requesting another CLI. Anywho, approved to $6K! :yahoo:

 

Now at $55,600 in credit, with an average line of $5,054.54.

I called Citi's EO yesterday asking for a CLI for my $2.5K Double Cash. Asked them to match the $16.7K on my Fidelity Amex. A CLI came through an hour ago. $12.3K! :yahoo: This is now my second highest limit. :D

 

Now at $65,400 credit, with an average line of $5,945.45.

 

I'm in the middle of an app apree today. So far:

  • Sallie Mae $6,000
  • IHG (Chase) $14,600
  • Bank of America $11,000

I have apps with Alliant and UNFCU that are pending.

 

I now have 15 lines. 14 are revolving, with $97,000 of credit, and an average line of $6,928.57.
