Discover AU question

I know everything is always YMMV

However, my current scores and cards in my signature.

I have helped several friends and my entire immediate family with credit rebuilding and/or strengthening and I just got my mother approved for a discover it $5500 SL.

Discover hates me currently (too many apps) and will absolutely not let me in right now. 

Does having myself added as an AU (card already on the way) and putting some usage through my card help my chances of approval?

My initial guess is no, but I wanted to see if anyone had a different opinion. I know I just need to let my accounts age and inq's fall off..

Any feedback would help.

Re: Discover AU question

Doubtful. Discover either likes your profile or they don't. Good luck figuring out what exactly they like because I don't even think they do.

Re: Discover AU question

Most likely no.  You will need all of your own info and you're just an AU on this card.

Nope. I am in the same boat. Ended up getting the secured version. Too many inquiries and they won't even scknowledge you are human.
