I personally would wait till 3 months elapse from time of last app.

Today I was just looking around on preapproved Discover site and put in my info: automaticaly pops up that Ive been pre approved, now Im not sure if I should try due to recent decline or just hold off for few more months. I was dinged from the inquiry on my credit score by 10 points and I am currently in rebuild mode, so not sure if I should pull the trigger. Any advice welcome. Thanks!
Welcome to myFICO. I would definitely wait...it's only been a month since your last denial. More stats would help people assist you further, such as AAoA, inquiries, other cards, CL's, derogatories, etc. The best of luck to you.

These are first credit cards Ive had in over 10 years. average age is 6 years, have 1 pending collection account that CA is suppose to be deleting just been waiting for them to update, been over 30 days now, inquiries 6 on EQ and 3 on other 2. I have been really wanting the Discover it card because of the credit scores and wanting higher limit. when they sent denial letter score from them was 674.
you need to wait for CA to be deleted and updated .........then re-apply in 30 days
I would suggest more like 6 months to show history. Discover can be willing to accept new files but are a little tougher on those rebuilding.
