Approved for my first non-secured card!

[farmgirljen]

I decided to see what I might be pre-approved for with capital one, since i got that mailer recently from them....I was pre-approved and then instantly approved online for a capital one no hassle rewards  card with a $500 CL. it does have a $39 AF, but no APR until March 2011...  Not bad for someone who just got approved for their first ever card in Feb this year-and that was a secured card through  my local CU. I am so excited to be able to say I have my first real credit card,lol...I don't need it- but it is sure nice to know it is there-and it means that I am on the right path to excellent credit. My scores were in the low 500's less than a year ago, and just this week have gone up to 665TU, and 633 EQ via scorewatch and careful usage of my secured card.

That is awesome. I hope to be able to get approved for a non-secured card once again in the next 6 or so months. Congrats!!
