Finally got my non subprime card

I love these forums but anywhoo just applied for a citi credit card and received instant approval with credit limit of 3900. Surprised heck out of me. Tried Chase and they said they have to review it so I will call in morning and I tried capitol one who flat out denied me. Currently I have a 300 First Premier which I will be closing as soon as I get the new card, 600 Orchard Bank, and a 500 Capitol One so don't know why they denied me. Ohh I did also just get a car loan for 28000 this week and a mortgage in April so I am going to cool my jets for a while. I just wanted a card that I didn't have to pay a fee per month just to have or an annual fee. I have come a long way from last July when all my scores were in 500s. So just wanted to say thanks you guys for all your help and information.

Congrats on the approval! Sounds like a big step up from your current cards. I tried for Citi myself and had no luck. Which card did you app for?

The Platinum Select Mastercard. I meant to apply for the Citi Forward but did the wrong app. I just wanted one that wasn't the usual one everyone qualifies for. I dont use credit cards but I want to continue to build my credit. When did u apply?
