New to the Forum But I got Approved too!

Anonymous — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 04:33:39 GMT

I have been reading and soaking up nearly every word on this forum. You guys are an amazing treasure trove of information so I decided to take the plunge too. I had only one credit card, which was my Credit One card (feel free to insert BOOS here) but I hate it. I was only using it to get my credit up and that's exactly what I was able to do. Soon, I found myself soaring into the 700s after piggybacking off someone else for good credit too.

So, I went for the Discover card. I wasn't instantly approved, but for some strange reason, I got a letter about my new card and was confused for a moment.

What new card?

It hit me. I must have been approved! I called Discover and she nonchalantly said, "Yes you were approved for $500." Now I wasn't too happy with the SL but I was just uber excited to join the Discover "family". So, I was happy......for a day or two. Then I realized that I needed something to fit better with my lifestyle. I'm disabled in a wheelchair, but I do some modeling from time to time for my new agency that only works with disabled people. (Lots of changes in my life) So, for some odd reason I decided to pick the Chase Freedom card.

I wasnt immediately approved. I think I would've fallen out my wheelchair if I was. I said to myself, "Its worth the wait." So I waited a day. Then Chase called to confirm information and I held my breath....

"Congratulations, you've been approved for a SL of $8500." I actually dropped the phone. My nurse grabbed it off the floor but I wanted to sound super cool...not like a teenager with a date to the prom.

"Hello?" he said.

"Yeah. I'm totally here." I tried to sound cool but I was so excited. When I hung up the phone, I was practically popping wheelies in my chair. I got a good card with great benefits AND a SL I was Soooooo not expecting. So, thank you for all your good advice. I have learned so much from you guys. You all rock! Thanks again. I think I want one more and then I'll be good.

Thanks for your kindness and wisdom.

You might want to consider giving some time to elapse before getting another card, like 3-6 months. Chase can be fickle with credit seeking behavior.

@supermodelsonya

Disco and Chase that’s a great dynamic duo!

Congratulations on your successful BAT ATTACK

Chase is a very jealous bank when it comes to us cheating on it with other cards... So chase spoiled you with a Killer SL...

if you can stand it Garden for a while while other CC suitors send their snail and e-mail enticing ya

But who are we to keep you from Destiny 😆😆

You know what to do!!! You might wanna trick out and do wheelies in style... glad you took a shot and it paid back the dividends

Welcome to the Disco and Chase Families

🥳 congrats!
