APR reduction from Discover

Went from 23.99 to 18.99 with a phone call Smiley Happy

Interest rate has always been high on this account but I've been calling and getting it reduced every six months for the last 2 years

Re: APR reduction from Discover

Congrats to you

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?

Congrats! I wonder what is the absolutely lowest APR they would give. The APR on my Discover it card is currently 10.99%.

Re: APR reduction from Discover

Month ago I was getting mails pre approvals . 12.99 - 15.99 APR . This month my report has been updated FICO EQ 723. I went to Discover IT pre-approval site. GOT 9.99% That's is minimum  I think. 0%par for 14 month pr and 0% for 14 Balance tr. + 9.99% after.  Even web site states 10.99 - something . So here you go 9.99% =) I have clear History just 1 year 2 month something =) If this help someone also after pre-approval I clicked apply now > redirected all what I can see is my name, social , info about product and submit button. Even there is no space for Annual income LOL ?= )) I am holding my hands and will apply for PENFED, Then AMEX 250$ sign in bonus via creditcard match, then DIcover IT =) . Thanks everyone on this Forums.
