Hi - my EQ had around 8 inquiries on it when I applied this last July (two years and four months post discharge). I was not approved instantly - had to call in it said to "verify" some info. Lady didn't ask once about my BK - just had me ask some identity related questions (prob since we previously moved and my address had not reported yet) and was approved at $5500.

The score they said at the time of application was 660 - but yet when I got the card, it says 708, so, IDK... Online now it says 713...
