So I figured since I've been gardening for the past 10 months I might as well app a couple times see what I can get.
Started by calling my CU and requesting a CLI of $2500 (currently was $1000)... 1 hour later, approved!
Then checked the card offers on Discover, and based on a soft pull it recommended the IT card... before I was never getting recommendations! So I apped, and got the 5-7 business days stuff. Went to dinner and called them when I got back, (as I was on the phone with them another rep called me from there haha) Anyways, rep just asked me about my job then asked why I wanted the card.... Approved $2500 limit!
I also always wanted the total rewards visa as I play poker almost everyday, and go to Reno and Vegas a lot but never got the pre-approved app before. But logged in today and bam pre-approved with a soft pull only with a $5000 limit!
Went to sportsman guide as well since I was never getting a popup there before, and got the popup for the visa card there as well. No idea what the limit is hopefully it will be at least $2500.
Well from the high 400s FICO 9~10 months ago and now this is where I am today! My app spree is over. Back to the garden... 6 credit cards and one auto loan did the trick in improvement, hopefully the sock drawer rotation with the additional cards will help more!
Congrats on your success 
What's the exact relationship between getting that Visa and playing poker?
congrats on the great run!! i too play poker and go to vegas a lot.. im in SoCal.. I also just got the total rewards card last week!! Again congrats on the new cards and good luck at the tables!!
