Specifically regarding Discover Card

[jmbfl]

Well, I finally got around to looking at my email again just now and I had the following message:

"Congratulations on becoming a Discover Cardmember!
Your new card is on its way."

**bleep**, they are fast! About 24 hours. Did not ask me for a thing. Neither did PenFed. I wonder what the secret formula is that makes that possible! Others seem to get hassled for a lot of information. (When it comes to providing information I definitely believe that LESS is MORE. MORE as in MO BETTER!)

I am gratified and a little shocked that Discover actually took me back. My rehab is moving right along, probably ahead of any pace I could have reasonably expected or any ambitious goal I could have set for myself. I had a plan for last year and this year and I am well ahead of it. Getting a $10K credit line from PenFed was beyond my wildest imagination. And now courted by and actually reissued a card by Discover. Wow!

Can't wait to see what the CL is on this one. I am thinking it is going to be decent based on the income I presented and the other CL's that I have. I'll know in a few days!

Congrats. That's awesome. Can't wait to see what your CL is! Such success we've had recently on obtaining Discover cards. How exciting! Fyi - mine came by regular mail took about a week.

Welcome to the Discover family!

Congrats, and I hope your hospital stay goes well.

Have you got a family member who can camp out with you? That often makes things go a lot smoother.

Thanks for the info.

HTSU -

Thanks for your comment. I live with the SO. She will be taking some time off from work after I come home from the hospital. My parents are coming for a week while I am in the hospital. My father and mother have a lot of experience with hospital/medical situations so I will be well looked after. I'll be off work for quite a while so slipping this one in under the wire is a major plus. Post-surgery I will definitely be in maintenance mode in more ways that one.

I just updated my info on TC for the last time before I go into the hospital and I noticed an extra TL reporting on EX. (Still no alert!!) Looked at the details and it is the new Discover Card account. So I flipped to the further details screen and...

The CL = $8,100.00 !!

So much for not applying...

I was hoping for at least $5K. This is more that I could have expected in my wildest dreams. Another TL over $5K - things are getting better and better!

Now I can go get worked on at least credit happy!

Yippie!!!

P.S. Hard work and a little deprivation do work after all. $21.6K in new TL's plus $1.5K CLI since April. jmbfl

I was hoping for at least $5K. This is more that I could have expected in my wildest dreams. Another TL over $5 - things are getting better and better!

WOWWW! I'll trade ya! Great news. Congrats.

Best of luck on your surgery, too!

Wow congrats! Gives me hope. Had discover screwed up. They deleted the tradeline is the only difference. Just need to keep getting my score back up there!

I am sure I was once as far in the dumps as you are although I was not looking at the time. (I even had a judgement that was bogus (long story) and was removed.) Keep up the hard work - and it is hard work - and you can be rewarded. Anyone can do it. I hope I encourage all to persevere!
