    Wish list:

    American Express Rewards Plus Gold Card
    Discover Smithsonian Card
    Citgo Celebrity
    National Geographic Society Platinum Mastercard
    Barnes and Noble Platinum Plus Mastercard
    Lane Bryant
    Target
    Victoria's Secret

    Reality list for now:

    Secured cards only

    Reality list is I get all or most of these disputes/inquiries off at end of month:

    Discover College Card
    American Express Green College Card
    Target
    Victoria's Secret

    And even then, probably not all, and I doubt VS and AMEX would come through.

    Wish list:

    Amex Platinum
    MBNA Quantum

    I will apply for the above in 6 months if at that time I have at least a 720 FICO.

    Right now I have:

    Citi AAdvantage World Platinum
    Citi Select Platinum
    ATT Universal Platinum
    Juniper Bank Platinum
    AOL First USA Platinum
    People's Bank (no designation as to type)

    retail:

    Kohl's
    Strawbridge's

    When/If I get the Quantum or Amex I will close the First USA and People's Bank accounts and I may also close Kohl's. Still deciding whether I want to combine the two Citi cards (AAdvantage and Select) into one.

    I'm changing my "wish list" because I just found out the AMEX Platinum is $300 annual fee. I thought it was $150 which is still a lot but the card comes with incredible benefits especially for those who travel a lot. Still, $300 is just too steep, I think, so I'm removing that and adding the AMEX Gold Membership Rewards Card to my wish list instead.

    That is pretty steep! Hmmm,, might have to rethink that one.

    Hmmmmmm........

    I'm going to be simple here...

    How about ANYTHING PRIME!!!!!!!

    My Providian and FCNB will be maturing to the 24 month perfect status this month. FNCC, Orchard and FNB will soon follow.

    I refinanced my car loan at the credit union today. Went from 18% to 13% so I guess this gives me hope.

    BTW don't believe either Myfico.com or CreditExpert.com. My real scores were from 30 to 50 points less according to the credit union.

    Back to the original subject. I know that if I keep paying on time that I will eventually get something ANYTHING PRIME? Someday I can only wish.

    Good point. In another thread, I begged the credit gods for one more unsecured, prime chance.

    My wish list is as followed:

    1. Am/Ex Platinum (hey....it's one of the few cards that people see and their jaws drop).

    2. Macy's Presidents Club Visa (if you worked there, you'd know why...I'd take the regular President's non-visa as well).

    3. A Citibank card w/ a decent limit (I know...I know...)
