Everyday, after reading this board and hearing various successes about obtaining new prime credit cards with huge limits, I immediately find myself on some credit card company's web site and typing away all of my personal information. Not today! I resisted the temptation to apply. No wasting inquiries here! Ha - instead I went web shopping... and charged up $200.00 in merchandise in an effort to resist the urge to apply for new credit.
I am so with you on this one. Every time I see a posting, I end up doing the same thing. The whole MBNA Amtrak debacle was the last straw. I am ignoring any good news on prime cards. I need multiple postings verfying that I have even a slim chance. I much prefer a card with a low limit than not getting it at all! I think I might just go shopping myself. Cheers!
