Get Out Your Crystal Balls

Ok, no one knows for sure, this I know. However, do you think it is worth applying for a Discover It CC with a score around 665 (should be when lower utilization reports).

I have 1 unpaid CO from 5 years ago and 1 collection from the same time ago. From my research it seems to be a 50 / 50 proposition but those posts were from a while ago.

I am just on the fence of what to do.


Starting Score: 583 EQ, 612 EX, 569 TU
Current Score: 658 EQ, 648 EX, 618 TU
Goal Score: 720 EQ, 720 EX, 720 TU

Take the shot after everything updates, it will most likely be a TU pull. Good luck Smiley Happy

My brother got a $1,000 limit with a score of 668 in November, 2013 so it is definitely possible. The best of luck to you.

Re: Get Out Your Crystal Balls

TU?  On the site which I cannot name (google search credit pull database) it seems Discover pulls EQ or EX.  Man, I hope they do not pull TU.

For me everything is done on TU, am in ID. Have seen quite a few TU pulls in approval comments around the forums lately.

I see more info needed 

INQ's in the last year? 

Other cards and limits and how long you've had?

UTL?

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?

Discover pulls EQ for the card and TU for cli--from what I've read. They pulled eq for my card...and cli in a few days.

I was approved with a 654 and a 6 year old unpaid collection on my reports. I don't remember what my util was at the time, but it was high.

 

Just go ahead an apply.
