DC Visa Denied - DPs

So I applied for the DC Visa and was gloriously denied lol. Just wanted to post for DP's sake. I have not received the letter with the reasons and the person on the phone was quick to say "..and it doesn't provide a reason". I'll update the post when I get the letter

 

Current Stats:

  • They pulled TU, unsure which version (TU F8 is 788, TU F9 is 801)
  • Inquires < 6mo = 3; inquiries  < 12mo = 5
  • New Accounts < 6mo = 4; new accounts < 12mo = 8
  • Collections = $0
  • Delinquencies = 0
  • Negative/Charged Off/Public Records = 0
  • Credit Card Utilization = Under 1% ($2,400 / $623,000)
  • Total Utilization = $37,000 / $660,000
  • No Fraud Alerts or Freezes

My spidey sense tells me it was the inquiries/new accounts. Can't think of what else it could have been (maybe "too much available credit Smiley LOL), but it's speculation until the letter arrives

 

So now the choice is, lay low and stop all serial-apping to snag this one up in 6 months, or On With The Rampage!?! Smiley Very Happy

Lame that they are being so strict with it. Sorry to hear. Smiley Sad

 

Interested to see what the reasons are. The card has such a crappy rewards setup that it's not worth gardening for. 

Kudos for sharing DPs, not for the denial.

Thanks for posting this. Although too early to tell based on just a couple DPs, I would envision this CC not being a FOTM.

Let us know what the letter says once you receive it.

Re: DC Visa Denied - DPs

Thanks for the DP.  This card is going to be a big dud for DC for the lender they picked.  It appers although not a ton of DP's that their strict underwritting applies for this card as well.  Still not quite sure what they were thinking picking UMB vs Comenity or Cap1 or the likes, but probably will be a very rare card which is kinda sad.

 

Card certainly wont be a FOTM due to what appears to be no instant approvals, turns down very good profiles, people will be scared to apply now, etc..  Dead before it got out of the gate.  My tu is 820 atm and know i won't take a HP for it now due you being turned down Smiley Happy.  Thanks for taking one for team

Re: DC Visa Denied - DPs

@Saeren, I'll definitely update all when I get the letter but my spidey sense tells me it's about inquiries or new accounts. 

 

@FinStar and @CreditCuriosity - I think the lack of instant approvals definitely holds it back from being a FOTM, but it's still possible. Reminds me of the Banco do Brazil frenzy Smiley Very Happy 

 

I'm still gonna keep an eye on DP's as they roll thru over the next few months and see if I can snag it up next year (assuming it's still around then lol)

Re: DC Visa Denied - DPs

Sorry to hear about your denial CiC and thanks for the DP. 
With your profile being turned down I don't know what else. 
A thin profiled millenial? Or maybe the fans of Adam West, Christopher Reeves Linda Carter who haven't app'ed for credit in the last decade?

Oh well. Looks like we won't see any approvals anytime soon 😡

LOL @Brooklyn2018! If I stay calm I could still snag this one up. Might be easier than a BofA Premium card LOL

 

@Meanmchine, nah my ARS file is wide open. The last time I even thought about that report was during my Cash+ app in 2017, but they ended up approving me for $10k right out the gate so whatever is on there couldn't have been too bad. It didn't even occur to me until @Mahraja brought it up a few days ago lol

Darn it!  I would have loved to see where you decide to put that flashy Superman card in your signature!  Smiley Very Happy
