I want to beat myself in the head. (Updated)

Despite all the advice on myfico.com, I went ahead and app for Barclay Ring.

 

Instant approval.

 

But TOY LIMIT. (my LOWEST CL EVER)

 

I will recon tomorrow at 7 CST.

 

I will know what they pulled tomorrow with creditsecure from Amex unlimited pull for all 3 CRAs.

 

Anyway, if they pulled TU, it's 9 inqs 2 in last 9 months. The rest is from cars and will fall off the end of year.

 

Any advice on recon?

 

UPDATED: Using the same HP (they pulled TU, in TX), they were able to bump the credit to 2k (too many 3 new accounts in 6 months and 9 inqs on TU)

 

To the future me: listen to myfico.com advice! To avoid toy limit/low CL.

Re: I want to beat myself in the head.

Most likely they will need to do another HP. My gf had to recon her original CL and they did a new inquiry. She got a higher limit though so in a way it was worthwhile since she doesn't have any inquiries on TU.

Just be prepared to answer questions regarding your CR

Hopefully they will use same HP, I think webhopper's DH got CLI thru recon with same HP if I read correctly.

Re: I want to beat myself in the head.

Have seen a lot of increases in limits on new approvals lately after calling them Good Luck

Congrats of the approval as well 

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?

Thanks.

 

I forgot to add that my total util is at 1% reporting on one card. The one card that is reporting has 8% reporting of total limit.
