Applied for AMEX

Bored today. I think I'll apply for an AMEX.

I choose the Clear Card, as I don't want to pay annual fees.

Why AMEX? Because I have read if I opened a new AMEX card, I can have the "Member Since" backdated to that of my original Green Card, which was opened in 1990.

I know I will get a hit my credit score. But I hope the backdate will make up for that, in the form of Average Age of Accounts improvement.

PenFed Platinum Cash Rewards

I applied for a new credit card for the first time since 2002.

PFICO 851

I hit 851 for the second time! It seems Wamu's graph cannot handle two scores of 851, as the orange box is missing. Time to upgrade the hardware, Wamu?


BTW, the colors in this graph are different, because I was playing around with Photoshop. Nothing else has been altered.
