I Discover(ed) IT

Anonymous — Fri, 21 Aug 2015 02:18:52 GMT

Broke out of the garden today after less than a month...yes less than a month but it paid off big time.

I applied for a Discover card about two years ago and got denied. I hadn't applied since, and today was the day I would redeem myself.

I went for the Discover IT card thinking at best I would get approved for the secured option (the last denial still in my head).

After 60 seconds that seemed more like an hour I got approved for an unsecured one with $800 CL! Small credit line but i willl make it grow.

Back to rebuilding and to the garden it is...for a long while!

That's awesome!!!

I have there secured, I'm going to tell you though to potentially save yourself an inquiry - today I was told you can't get a 2nd card until your first is a year!

Be ultra good with it for a year and you'll be golden

They mean you can't get a second Discover card. Not other cards.

Thanks all.

Definitely not planning to get another one from Discover or elsewhere any time soon, I'm trying to rebuild and wait for some baddies to get evicted

But I appreciate the heads up.

Heading to the garden thread, and staying put!
