People ask us this question, more than any other question: how much of a jump, or boost, will adding tradelines give my FICO scores? It’s a fairly simple answer, though in all cases we can’t say exactly how much of a jump adding a line or two or three will give reports. You’re looking to boost your credit, but nobody who sells tradelines is working from the Fair Isaac Corporation, so in all cases of adding tradelines, it’s an educated guess on how far your scores will go up. We know what you’re thinking, “hmm, I want to boost…
Just what is the origin of piggy back ride as far as we have come to know it? Well, a long time ago, think 16th century, people would carry a bag on their back called a “pick pack,” because you could pick it up and put it on your back. The Pick Pack eventually got called a “pick-a-pack” and that eventually became “pick-i-pack” and that eventually became “piggyback,” which now refers to the practice of someone jumping on your back and going for a ride, hence “piggyback ride.” The term refers to something fun and playful done between humans,…
We live in an age of absolute instant gratification for pretty much any need under the sun you can think up. Your tongue has 10,000 taste buds. They get replaced every two weeks. They can taste five different flavors: sweet, bitter, salty, sour, and umami. Umami!? Umami. That’s the flavor in parmesan cheese, mushrooms, seawead...elemental flavors that bring mythology to life on your tongue. We bring this up because taste is just one sense, and see how varied that is. There are four more that we humans have explored and refined to art, leading to infinite variations on pleasure,…

We live in a culture where the phrase “Keeping Up With the Joneses” can take on several connotations, usually none of them good. If someone is embarking on this Jones endeavor, it usually means they are stretching themselves either beyond their means, or they are simply buying things (cars, watches, clothes) because they are trying to look good for people that don’t much matter to them. Despite this rather Tyler Durden-esque insight (he was right about that), people across the country are always trying to keep up with those Jones folks. This keeping up with the Joneses though...it’s a…
The best way to get tradelines is to get them yourself. Let’s play the fantasy game. Do you dream of going to the American Express site and applying for the best possible card they offer and getting approved for thirty grand? Hey, it could happen. But if you have that ability, you’ve probably stumbled onto this site by accident and we probably want to talk to you about how to add people to your tradeline so you can get paid. Here’s where you might be thinking, someone who has that kind of credit profile and income doesn’t need to…
There once was a time when the people who worked at Boost Credit 101 didn’t know what a tradeline was. This time can be likened to what it was like when Thomas Anderson (Neo) was inside the Matrix, before discovering that he was, indeed, trapped within a computer program called The Matrix and that his entire life was a lie. Tradelines are just like this. Okay maybe not just, but once you know about tradelines, it can be pretty hard to believe that you believed what you believed before you knew. But wait, you don’t know about them? Or…

In the third season of Black Mirror, an episode titled “Rate Me” imagined a future where people rated others just as they might a restaurant. Black Mirror takes the use of technology and the darkest parts of human nature, blends them, and takes them to some wild, and frequently extreme, places. But in “Rate Me” the show explored an idea that seems like it could happen at any time. In fact with the app Peeple, that was exactly the goal, rate others, called “Yelp for People.” You didn’t even need their permission, as by rating someone it would create…

At the moment only 57% of the IRS workforce is up and running, with more and more calling in sick in protest, and according to the Washington Post, hundreds of employees have been granted absences due to financial hardship. This all gets translated to: your tax refund may be delayed, by a lot. So what? You still aren’t that affected, but that’s now. With much more time…
