I may have gone a little overboard but...
Capital One (with credit steps) $1000 CL 0% til Feb then 8.9%
Barnes & Noble $700 CL (boo) 0% for 3 months then 14.9% (boo) NO AF
HSBC - American Dream Card $1200 CL (woo hoo) 21.99% (boo) BUT it is my first ever HSBC with out an annual fee!
Amex Blue & BP Visa both said now because I had a collection on my record (pulled 10/17/08) as of yesterday I have gotten rid of 4 CA 1 more to go. Don't know if I will ask for a recon or not.
Im thinking I might be through for a while.

I got 3k, when logged in online with new card, cl 1500. They were cutting everyones approval cl by half. I would be interested to hear if any of the people that got approved for the 3500 and 4k lines KEPT those lines once the cards came or if they just don't want to share the 50% cut.
I'm still happy 1500 or 3k, it will grow!
I'm the guy who was disappointed that I only got 1K. I agree that my CLs will grow with time, as my Juniper MC has already grown from $400 to $1650 in a year. I was just wondering how, when all three of my FICO scores are around 700, I'd get "just" $1000. It obviously isn't the BK, as Cabela's is one of the most BK-friendly cards around. What about the total amount of debts I had discharged in my BK? Those roody poo student loans (my Experian report said one of negative was that my student loan balances were high compared to the original loan amounts)? Maybe it's because I'm in Michigan, but I thought only AmEx used that as an excuse. Sorry you didn't fare much better than me, Creditaddict, but I'm wondering how I can fare better than I have recently.
ahhhhhhhhhhh I'm addicted to applying i think??? Applied for a Lowes card today and got approved CL only $500 tho APR 21.99
Edit...not even 2min after I posted^ I applied for a Dillards card and low and behold GE Money Bank is showing me mad love...kinda since in the past 2 weeks or so I got a Walmart CL $700, Lowes CL $500, and Dillards CL $300. Do we see a trend here? lol Needless to say I am done appling for now my total CL on all my cards is now $3300 when they all report my utill should be 35% down from 53% working on gettin my util down to >%5 or so in the next month or so.
...and the road to recovery continues
