Re: Discover

Ugh Discover... ironically my most coveted card, but they can be a pain.

 

I was only approved on my third or fourth try, but when they finally approved it was with a sizable $6000 SL. Maybe you'll have similar luck.

As they approve some people not to short after BK and other in the 700's with no baddies they decline.  They aren't inquiry sensitive as we also know.. They are a true mystery to me!  I will never ever waste a HP on them unless their was a 10k signup bonus type of thingSmiley Happy..  Not that great of card IMO.. Freedom is fine for me.


5th time was a charm for me CC!!  LOL.. I was ready to do battle, and app every month until these said yes. LOLSmiley Wink And yes..I was approved 1.5 yrs post BK7 with a 659, and 80 inquires, lmao!! Smiley Wink  


You have to admire the determination....80 inquiries😂😂👌🏽


There is a fine line between determination and brute force. Lol.

There's something charming about 80 inquiries, I think. It's like "Man... this chick is really ballsy. Let's give her a try."

Or someone with 80 inquiries might just be slightly credit obsessed and more likely to watch their credit closely.

Re: Discover

Regardless what the letter says it's the bk!!!
You can't (shouldn't, you can) be opening credit cards until AFTER discharge and the big banks won't usually break that rule.
As for Amex, don't apply now or next year with a bk just barely discharged!
Amex tens to be like year 7+ with a bk

Re: Discover

Inquiries are like dating?  A high number is 'icky' but a super high number is "interesting? "

A person with enough brute force or determination can pretty much accomplish anything in life.  Simply do not take no as an answer and try again and againSmiley Happy.. In time you will eventually get a yes!  I should listen to my own advise and try this w/regards to asking certain women on a date


Perhaps, but it is much tougher if you have no eyeballs!

Discover makes me want to stab my eyeballs!

 

I have grown to hate them so much I think I'm going to close our joint account too... I hate nothing more than a bank that gives you a credit analyst that actually isn't one and can't give you REAL answers just suggestions that are really quite stupid.

 

Don't tell me 9 year old BK is reason for denial when it's so publically known that you give out accounts to people less than 6 months out of BK and 1-2 years for SURE and with scores way below 650 and I have a 700... I know better than anyone it's more than score and blah blah but I just can't handle the model and I wish I could block them on my browser so I would stop applying because I feel i should just get approved even though i don't even care for the card Smiley Tongue that's how obsessed I am with banks that won't approve me and makes me so mad and crazy!

 

thanks that's all for my rant.... now you have 3 seconds to talk me out of canceling our joint account that will not move without HP's and doesn't qualify for sp's if you ask me because it's joint... and we don't even get the fico score anymore for the primary like we use too.


Sorry to hear that CA.  Thanks for the idea though.  I got Discover to reduce my reate from 17.99% to 16.24%.  I only use the card for the 0% offers now so no difference for me but I feel that I gained something out of this Smiley Wink
