Re: DISCOVER APPROVAL

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the approvals! You're well on your way to building your credit! I'll tell you right now, this place is FILLED with valuable info!

 

Just a few tips to make sure you're off on a positive start (since you just started credit 4 months ago). Try not to go over 10% of your overall CL. So although you have a combined CL of 2000, use your card as if the total limit is 200. And PAY IT OFF IN FULL EACH MONTH. When you do that, you'll be able to build your score on a positive note. And once you keep doing that, and your credit accounts age with time, you'll start getting even better offers and soon get your foot in the door with Amex. Not only that, but you'll be able to start getting increases in your credit limits too!

 

I've learned a ton of info on here. I'm 23, and I found this when I was 19. Has been a HUGE help.

 

Welcome again! Let us know if you have any questions. I don't have an 800 credit score (more like 723 Smiley Sad...) BUT, I've learned many things from people who have already/ IS doing it.
