Congrats!

Hard to know how they decide these things. I only got a $4,000 limit (applied in October) but got their best APR rate (either 11.99 or 12.99, can't remember). Seems very random sometimes.

Congrats!!!

Interesting note: My FICOs are all higher than yours (not bragging at all) and Citi denies me like no tomorrow! Haha :-)

Congrats again!!!! Amazing initial line!

Yes it is. Click on the student version then select "not a student". It works.

This is great to know, as I was thinking about applying for the Forward since I buy my lunch almost every day during the work week. My employer has a great cafeteria that is really afforadable.
