A little over a year ago, I started this blog. Originally it was designed to cater exclusively to credit score information, I was unhappy with the information that was out there and even more unhappy with companies that were misleading consumers into purchasing credit scores that weren’t the same as the ones lenders looked at.
My first post (at least the first post I remember writing, I wrote a number of “pages” that weren’t on the blog first) was titled “How To Get A Free FICO Score With A Walmart Credit Card“. It was only natural progression that I started to write more and more on credit cards, as the number of card issuers that decided to offer free FICO scores increased.
I’ve also enjoyed writing about bank bonuses, as it’s something that doesn’t get nearly as much attention (most likely due to the fact that they don’t pay a commission to blog owners. You’ll notice that when they do pay a referral bonus [e.g capital one 360] that the number of bloggers talking about it drastically increases).
I just want to thank everybody that reads this blog on a daily basis. I’ve learnt a lot since I started blogging and hope I can continue to learn and contribute to the community. Some of you might enjoy looking at this blogs growth chart, as you can see almost nobody read this site when it began but it has continually grown, I hope this growth continues.
I’m going to hold a few contests to celebrate this blogs birthday, but unfortunately it’s going to have to wait a month or so. My contract at work has finished (I’ll be starting a new contract with the same company and in the same position) and I’ve opted to take three weeks of leave to explore Myanmar/Burma, I’ve heard the internet isn’t the best so my writing will be intermittent at best (I won’t be blogging about this or any other trips as this is not a travel blog).
In the mean time, I’d like to share with you some of the blog posts that I am most proud of (not in any particular order).
- FICO scores explained in detail
- Bank accounts that are fundable by credit card
- Is opening a bank account a hard or soft pull?
- List Of Methods Banks Count As Direct Deposits
- Best Downgrade Options & Rules For Each Card Issuer
Do you have a favorite post on Doctor of Credit, if so what is it? Also how did you originally find out about the site?
