New to Forum -- Instant Approved Discover IT - Now HELP?

28 years old 9+ year credit history

 

only have had 1 capitol 1 platinum card last few years with $300 limit

 

have a closed but pays as agreed chase card from a few years ago owe $884 - $2,500 limit

 

myFico as of signing up yesterday 673

 

The reason I am on here is I received a Discover IT mailing and thought it might be time to open a new credit line and fix my ratios

 

Got instantly approved online! no 5-7 day wait nothing

 

Not sure what my credit limit will be.

 

I was wondering if this forum had a glossary of terms or good posts for beginners (ie: the garden) 

 

And why are so many who are rebuilding credit going on "app spree's?" 

 

Also should I call Discover and see what my CL will be or wait for the card? I applied last night (Sunday) so far no email, call or anything?

Congrats and Welcome ! !

 

Here's a good place to begin, regarding glossary and newbie information:

Call up Discover, you'll experience first hand their excellent customer service, and you'll also get your CL from them.
