Discover Approved!

RandomCreditDude · ‎05-28-2013

So I've been getting Discover IT offers in the mail for the past few months, but held off applying cause I wanted to bring my AAoA back up a little. Well, it's back up, and since I have a major spend (airline tickets) sitting on my Amex BCP, my overall util was in the 26% range. Turns out that Discover gave me a $7,500 limit, which is my highest so far, so I'm pretty happy!

Util drops, and I continue to build. Next card will be a CSP in Feb 2014

Congrats keep up the good work

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Congrats on the card and CL!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm working hard to build great credit to counteract my credit file being only 2 years old. So far so good, I'd say, with Amex Gold, BCP, Chase Freedom, and Discover IT all working to bump me up.
