You got dinged the points may as well make sure there is nothing to be done. Post some basic info about your reports and company that declined for better guidence from the board if people feel you should have been approved. 

 

I applied for a card yesterday and got the 10 day message. Called in and the approved me. Good Luck!

dont be fooled you obviously cant talk them into approving you if you have a mountain high full of baddies. people who are in primeland and apply and get denied do have a chance at successfull recon but dont waste your time if you have multiple lates and or baddies

It's whats called a "Recon" (Reconsideration). There is a thread at the top of the credit card forum called "Backdoor numbers", you call and asked to be reconsidered and a rep. maunually goes over your CR with you.

 

Not all creditors do recons. (AMEX, GE)
