I just apped for a Discover Motiva Card and my heart was pounding while the website was processing my app and it came back and said approved!!! I just about passed out when i saw that! I called 1-800-Discover to find out the limit and a very nice lady in Delaware transfered me to a guy in new accounts and said my limit is $1,000 and in 4 to 6 days i'll have my card!!! OMG i can't believe this!! I'm still shaking!! I should have stayed in the garden but i just couldn't help myself and it paid off! Now my plans have changed. If you have seen earleir i wanted to wait while some inquaries fall of and get a barclays but i don't think that is what i want to do. for right now i will "sock drawer" my capital one, and as you may have seen earlier i just got my Amazon Store card from 500 to 800 so i'm gonna keep that "in the sock drawer" as well. I can't believe this i have started from zero and now i have good enough credit to have 6 cards including Discover! OMG!!! 
maybe when my BOA Secured Card graduated next July they will see how hard i've worked and give me a generious limit! I'm deffidently gonna stay in the garden and try so hard to resist all temptations to app for the next 2 years at least cuz i have too many cards. I will still see if i can get Capital One to waive annual fees so i can keep it open, then later close it since Discover makes up for it. I'm in primeville now for sure! I owe it all to you guys on this forum! I couldn't have done it without you! Thanks!!!

CONGRATS!!!
Do they auto increase by any chance? Since i have plenty of available credit for now, i don't want to spook Discover by calling them later sometime next year or something and asking for an increase. I also don't want to spook anyone else. I fear that Capital One, GE, Bank of America or even Disover could review my credit file and see i have alot of accounts in a short time and decide to close an account, so i'm gonna resist the urge to app and be careful with the credit i use, so i don't spook anyone! I'm still shaking from the approval... lol & i'm kinda paranoid right now i guess. lol
