Discover IT

 It seems the Discover IT is aggressively expanding their customer base by issuing its cards to those with less than perfect credit,including myselfSmiley Happy I just hope people don't abuse it and use responsibly, so that others in need of major card can be benefited from them.I sure don't want to see anyone being stuck with blood suckers like Credit One/Capital One.

Kudos to Discover IT for giving me a second chance!

Congrats and use well

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?

Re: Discover IT

That's good to hear. I've attempted 2 recons with them after a recent denial and no love was shown. Maybe the tides will change after gardening for the next 6 months.

Re: Discover IT

They pulled Experian with my score being 649(lowest of all three agencies) and I have two judgement,about 4 yrs old on my credit report.Also my credit history is short,about 2 and half yrs(this was the reason I was turned down by Barclay before even with TU score of 720),but during that time I 've managed capital one/credit one well.No idea if that helped me or not.

Re: Discover IT

Jutz,

My CL is 2,200 and was approved instantly, so no recon was needed.By the way when I called to activate the card I was pleasantly surprised by very pleasant English speaking American customer service.Nothing against "others",but I do have some problem understanding them at times.
