Amazon Approved!

[ Edited ]

I was ordering a few things today and during checkout I decided to go ahead and try for the Amazon store card again. I applied for it when I app'd for the Walmart card a few months ago and was declined. 

 

I guess gardening does payoff...Walmart approved me with a TU FICO of 608 with only a $150 limit a few months ago, and after waiting a few months and letting my score increase by over 50pts Amazon approved me today with a limit of $700. 

 

I may try for the Lowe's card. (I really need/want it). 

 

 

| AMEX Zync PSL | Walmart $900 | Cap1 Green $1.5k | Amazon $1k | NFCU Visa Sig $10k | NavChek $15k | NFCU Platinum MC $2k | Lowe's $1.2k |
Starting Score:TU:597 EQ:571 7/5/12 (joined myFICO & SW)
Current Score: EQ:653 (ScoreWatch) EX:685 (Amex app) TU:681 (Walmart)
Goal Score: 700

Proud to say that ALL past due debt has been paid and I never declared BK!!
