What was your UTIL at time of approval for Venture/QS

For someone in my position, Cap1 Venture and QS are going to my goal "prime" cards to get with some nice starting limits in the next 9-12 months.  I was helping some co-workers fix their credit and one of them had a 70+% UTIL, approved for $5k Venture and $3k QS.  The other had 40+% UTIL approved for $10k Venture.

 

Can anyone share their own UTIL at time of approval?

Thanks for sharing, I thought their UTIL was really high for approval but I guess it is what it is.

DGF's mom picked up a Venture 20k and Venture1 10k last night with about 30% overall UTIL but a couple of her cards at 80% or better UTIL. Her two current Cap1 cards a QS1 and Platinum were at 52% and 84%.
