I must have really gotten lucky! I was approved for PenFed Platinum Cash Rewards with a 20,000 limit after opening 14 new accounts not just in the last year, but within 3-4 months! My utilization is low, and my score was less than yours!

O really!!! Lucky you

I'm realizing just how lucky now!! They also refinanced my Range Rover for 1.49%!!

I am in LOVE with the new 2013 Range Rovers. What year did you get??

Thanks, and congrats to you as well! I'm in shock now that they even approved me at all, let alone for 20,000!!! Also, I've used it once to gas up the Rover!

OP - sorry they turned you down. I agree with the others here that you need to call and recon. They are very nice people to work with.

 

Be prepaired to send them supporting documentation. Your profile looks very good and I am quite surprised you were turned down!

 

Worth a phone call for sure! Let us know the results.

Sorry to hear it. You can fax them a letter to request to recon for manual review. Your score is much higher than me.  I think you have a good chance to get approved.
