When I asked for a CLI I asked if they had a minimum score. The csr told me the minimum they consider is 670. Said it was for any discover product, but at the time I was only asking for a cli and not a new card.


 

Well, I don't know about that. They recently approved my DH for a More card with a $1000 CL, and his EQ score (which they provided) was 631. He didn't qualify for their best terms -- 3.9% for 6 months as opposed to 0% -- but at least he's in.


Current Scores: EQ 775 (03/04/2014), EX 756 (03/01/2014), TU 760 (03/01/2014)

Re: Holly Cow, Now Discover....

just applied for a discover card today to take advantage of the 0% balance transfer rate.  The automated system said i could receive a response in up to 30 days.  I called one of the back door numbers and was approved within 5 minutes!!  i've never had anything like that happen before!! thought it was pretty awesome!

What did his credit profile look like, if you don't mind me asking?

In my wallet: Apple $5,000, local CU $15,000, Bread AMEX $5,000. In my sock drawer: A few other cards Smiley Happy
