My Brother Instantly Approved Discover IT!!!!

My brother is two years younger than me and this is his first card on his own! He does have a BB&T card that my mom co signed for him with a $500 limit. He also has a motorcycle loan. But I am so proud of him! I recently got the Chase Freedom and he applied for that also and got the 7 to 10 days so he still has a shot but I suggested he go for the Discover IT! So glad he did! Now waiting to see his limit!!!

Also question. My girlfriend said she got to select her card design once she was approved! My brother said he never saw the option, does anyone know about this?

Congrats to your brother. He can select his design when he logs into his account - I think under profile. Sorry I'm on my phone now and can't double check. Also, have him call Chase's back door number- they just might want to verify

Sounds good! Ill have him log in! And I keep trying to talk him into calling Chase but I think he's kinda afraid. He probably definitely won't now since he got the Discover and he's happy with that! It still can't hurt to try to get he card though since he already took the hit. I guess we'll see.

Yeah it is definitely a little intimidating, especially if you tend to be the shy type. I'll push him a little but if he's persistent on not, i'll just let him be. At least he did get a good rewards card and hes happy about it. Thats what matters.

Don't let him waste the hard pull for Chase.  Have him call the backdoor number.  They may just want to verify some info.

Barclays USAir World MC $8300 - DCU $7500 - USAA World MC $7000 - PayPal Extras MC (GE) $5500 - Chase Saphire Preferred $5000 - Discover It $6000 - Barclays Sallie May $2700 - Chase Freedom $1000 - Capital One $8500 (business) - store cards ranging from $500-$9500
