I posted this in another thread, but figured I'd make a new one for myself, to help spread the word to others who may be thinking about joining the Discover family.
After reading a handful of these threads about the Discover It today, I went ahead and applied. Instant Approved for $9,500! Welcome to Discover!
This is my second highest limit (highest being NFCU at $25,000), and feels really good. Anyone else on the fence, evaluate your situation and go for it if you feel you might have a chance. I was really under the impression that you had to be firmly in the 700 club for this card (see my current scores below), but decided that worst case scenario I would be denied and have to wait 6 months (as planned). So glad I didn't wait.
Now I feel like I should go ahead and apply for AmEx BCE and Chase Sapphire Preferred, but I will try and hold out for a few months. Back to the garden...
Very nice! Congrats!

Just some background, last TU score 663 (NFCU approval in January) and EQ 643 (myfico score alert, yesterday), Util at 3%, AAOA 4yrs 4mos, 3 new accts reporting in the last 3 mos, 2 CO's over 5yrs old. And I was Approved, $1200CL!! Not my highest limit, but I am happy to get in with Discover and I heard their cards grow, so Im happy. If I hadn't seen your post I probably would have waited until my COs fell off my reports before applying so Thanks!
Awesome to hear! Glad to hear I helped at least one person on here - it's the least I could do for all the knowledge I've absorbed through reading everyone's posts.
Yay 4 u!! You are going to love Discover. I got the More card mid-October, $5500 limit. Statement just cut (4th statement), auto cli $1700. New limit $7200. Feels great to be rewarded with cli. The cash back is an awesome perk too. Congrats to you!
Starting Score: 585
Congrats thats a nice starting CL with Discover
