And yes, 10-14 months isn't a long time. But showing responsible use of revolving credit, even if for a short time, is better than not having any.
I agree completely with this.

I was approved and received my card the other day! WOOOOO! I'm just glad it gets 5x points at office supply stores. 5k MS to hit the min spend req should be making a profit on the side as well.

p2 dog: When you post, you sound like a kid. It's hard to take you seriously most of the time. I read quite a few blogs and forums, but in general, I look for my own ways to MS. For example, any time I'm in a store and see gift cards, I check them out and see what's available and whether they can be purchased with a CC. You never know when you're going to find a good MS opportunity.
