I signed up for an American Express preferred Blue card and got approved for a limit of $25,000. I have a 830 credit score. I realized that the places I shop don’t accept that card and you have to pay for it yearly so I canceled it.
Then I decided I was going to get a Costco Visa. Once I signed up the credit limit was only $5,000. So I canceled that one. So I stupidly signed up for a Wells Fargo Visa and that was $4,000.
Don’t leave yet and please don’t make fun of me but I’m not done being stupid. I decided I wanted a different American Express card and when I signed up for it the credit limit was $2,000 so I canceled that one.
Again I know I’m fucking stupid but how bad did I just fuck up my credit?
Whether its 12 months of grace or 12 seconds, the interest rate that comes after the grace period is still scalping
Not so much the case anymore. 10 years ago yeah, but recently most cards won’t charge back interest. Interest going forward is horrendous though, so yes definitely have a plan to pay it off beforehand.
