Congrats on the approvals!

I'm glad you shared about Target. I've wanted the card for a while and had brought it up as one of the cards I want after gardening and was discouraged from doing so because of the "meager credit limits" given.  Glad to know someone received one in the 4 digits upon applying

One year ago, I couldn't get approved for anything, including a regular Target redcard. I had a few baddies removed and established over a year of good credit with Cap1, VS, Samuels Diamond Elite. Then my bankruptcy dropped off TU and EX (still on EQ for another 3 years - boo).

Besides the BK13/Dismissed on EQ, I have one collection on all 3 and the CO from that on EX and EQ.

Current scores are EQ - 702, EX - 682, TU - 720

Friday - pushed the LUV button on VS (+200), Diamond Elite (+500) and Cap1 (guess they will send me some mail)

Yesterday I was at Nordstrom buying some stuff and decided to go for the Nordstrom Visa Signature app in store because I shop there a lot and want the points and early access to the annual sale. I knew they were inquiry sensitive and I had none for over 1 year. Approved! 4k limit. Woohoo. Finally an approval on a "real" card. They pulled Experian.

Today, I was at Target and decided to go for the Redcard app since that extra 5% off was on my hitlist, I literally shop there every week.... approved for the credit card - 2k temporary limit. Yay! Target pulled Equifax

I'm thinking of just going for the app spree tonight while I'm at it. I'm about to lose a bunch of my old good (closed) accounts in the next 2 years so I kinda need to gather more accounts anyway.

Thinking of:
Discover IT
Chase Freedom
Amazon Store Card

I'd really like an Amex BCE, but I'm probably pushing my luck on that, right?

As of right now, only INQ's in over a year are just 1 for EQ and 1 for EX from the Target/Nordies.

Any advice? Does the order matter? Should I not waste an inquiry on any of these? Is AMEX totally out of the question? 

I'd be cool with just Chase Freedom and Discover IT...should I just stick with those for now?

Congrats on approvals!

Your Target CL was 2x mine and I was able to get a BCE.   Chase Freedom and Discover IT are on my list for the next time I step out of the garden (at least 6 months from now).  I'm not sure if Discover has blacklisted me, however, so we'll see.

my scores are low 700's and i was afraid that i would be denied u.s. bank. an amex would worry the hell out of me. i'm going to place my foot on the spade for now. congrats
