Just got an email that the card is on its way. Apparently no income verification is necessary. Already showing up on my online banking. Smiley Happy

Congrats 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Regular. High interest rate though. 15ish. I expected that though with my score. Actually, I expected a flat out denial. I'll go for an apr reduction eventually. I don't plan on carrying a balance anyway.

Well, it's better than some cc's. once you get your scores to 675, ask for the reduction I'm pretty sure it's around 11.5%.
