Discover It approval 3 years after bk :)!

I have lurked here forever, and this is my first time posting! This month my Chapter 7 BK turned 3 years old. Now honestly immediately after BK I was not trying to rebuild, I simply got an auto loan (that I like but i shouldnt have but i learned my lesson). I applied for a secured card through my bank 5/3rd one year ago and that is the only credit card I had until last month. I was approved for CO QS for 5,000, Wayfair/comenity for 2,000, and today after 3 months of oogling the app, Discover It for 10,000. Smiley Happy
My fico for experian is 668, my credit karma TU is 710 and EQ 706. Before applying for Discover today, i had 3 inquiries on TU and EQ, and 1 on EX. My CO card balance was 7% and the others were at 0. I never burned discover in my BK, so maybe that is why I got lucky. Now I will garden until I feel safe to apply for an NFCU card (about a year or so) and I will probably close my secured card! Just wanted to share my great news, because like some of you, I was nervous to pull the trigger, I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. Have a great day all!

Congratulations! That's a really fantastic SL from Discover for someone who's been out of BK for 3 years. I got my own Discover It in March at about 2 years and 4 months out of BK with a $2,500 SL, but then my scores are worse than yours.
