- Where personal finance and personal freedom collide

"Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to be the tool by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of men. Blood, whips and guns – or dollars. Take your choice – there is no other – and your time is running out." — Francisco d'Anconia's speech about money in Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

AOR final results

curtis — 14 September 2007 - 10:23pm

Yes, the complete results are finally in! I got my final card this week, the Pulaski Visa with a $7k limit. I also have an addendum to the AOR: On Sept. 4 I applied for the Sony Rewards card (issued by Chase) and received a $6k limit. I got the card to take advantage of a deal for a cheap Sony eBook Reader.

In total, I received a credit line increase of $34,300, which is a hair shy of 100% increase. Not too shabby.

I hereby deem my first AOR a rousing success

curtis — 26 August 2007 - 7:48pm

Got some more results on my recent app-o-rama over the weekend. In addition to the cards previously mentioned, I received a CitiBusiness PremierPass card with a $4,000 credit line. I wasn't expecting this one, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got the card in the mail.

App-o-rama update

curtis — 22 August 2007 - 6:29pm

I checked the status of my Bank of America American Express card application today and saw that I was approved for a $5,000 line. Nice.

Pulaski sent me a notice asking for some income verification information. I've submitted this by fax, so hopefully I will hear a result in the next day or two.

I looked all over for a Citi application status page online, but could not find one to check on the Business card. Not a huge deal, but I'm curious to know where I stand.

My first (micro) app-o-rama

curtis — 21 August 2007 - 11:52pm

I was on vacation half of last week, and I spent part of the day on Wednesday putting together my first credit card app-o-rama (AOR). I first learned about the process in the FatWallet forums where a number of people share AOR experiences and even provide advice about how to make the most out of the process. Here is a recap of my own.

Why am I doing an AOR?
