The result...
I was approved!! My SL was set at $10,000 which almost knocked me out of my desk chair!! (Kinda makes me think I could fire off one more application without worry, but I'm not going to test fate.)
I cannot express how happy I am at the moment. It's taken me two years to get to this point after avoiding credit cards altogether for MANY years. I owe this forum a HUGE DEBT OF GRATITUDE AND THANKS!! All the advice I've received from comments and postings really made this happen today.
Gosh...I'm still in SHOCK!! Now to find $1000 worth in the first 3 months so I can get my $200 bonus. I'm not one to let money pass by. ;-)
Forum drinks for everyone on me!!!!
Congrats on the great opening SL!!! I still can't seem to figure out why they only gave me a $2k SL on my BCP card, although I did get the 0% for 15 months and $250 credit after $1000 spend (which I did in the first two weeks :-).
I just tried for my 61 day 3x CLI and received the 7-10 day by mail message, so I'm not hopeful. Not sure why they dont want to give me any LUV, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Definitely make sure you PIF every month to keep them happy.
Welcome to the club!
