I have been rebuilding my credit since 11/2012. I am proud to report that I was approved for a Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards Premier credit card with a $5000 credit limit. This is by far my highest credit limit and I was truly surprised that I would even gain approval for this card given my current credit score but I have been getting mulitple offers to apply for this card for the last 2 months so I decided to give it a shot. Now that I have this card and am part of the Chase family I plan to garden for the next year and let my Credit Score improve!

Congrats! Nice limit too. What cards and baddies do you currently have on your report?

If you fly often on SW, this is a great card, I've always wanted it...
Awesome! Way to go!!!

Congrats!!! Can you share if you had any baddies on your report when you applied? Also do you know who they pulled and what your score was?
I was just now approved for the Airtran Visa which I believe is basically the same as the Southwest card. I don't know what they pulled, but my EX is 673 (TU fako 679, EQ fako 661). My last baddie was in Jan. 2011 and was a 30 day late. I have quite a few inquiries too which is a big no-no, but for some reason they still approved me for a $7500 limit.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask! I poured over website forums like this for weeks trying to find out what kind of score was needed and I didn't find much info. So I'd love to help someone else.
