Chase freedom approval!

Have been rebuilding credit for 2 years now.
Called and applied for chase freedom on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to be approved!
Credit limit 3,500 but a high apr of 22.9%

My first prime card since the rebuld!



Current cards are
VS 0/300$
Stage 0/300$
Buckle 0/350$

3 medical collections unpaid
1- 2 month old mortgage (I don't even think it's being reported yet)
Last known fico is 703 from mortgage lender

ETA- I started my rebuld journey at 493 fico credit score (ughhhh!)

AAoA - 0 years 9 months
Inquires - 6
Utilization 0% (currently only because I JUST bought a house. Normaly it's between 5-9% and I PIF)
 

Thank you to everyone on these boards.. I couldn't have done it without you!

Should I do an app spree? What do you recommend

Re: Chase freedom approval!

I can't believe how high your score is even with three unpaid collections, crazy.
