Re: Just did my very first app spree. Results are in!

Between 30 and 40k.  But 2 things I have going for me are that I have no debt or loans whatsoever, and my rent is only 15% of my income, so I'm low risk in that sense.

Re: Just did my very first app spree. Results are in!

I will never understand the underwriting. I have one months more history and more then double your income and did get half of your limit. Okay I had more Inq on me EQ due to joining my credit union.

 

Nevertheless, let us do some happydance and party to be in prime land :smileyvery-happy: they will grow with us for sure.

Re: Just did my very first app spree. Results are in!

Yeah, I had no inqs on my EQ and I think that's the one they checked since they haven't shown up on my TU report yet.  Very excited to have a couple of prime cards at this point in the game!
