BoA Preselected Mailer Approval

So much for the garden...  Smiley Tongue 

I closed on a house (and had a little mini spree thereafter) a couple months ago, went into the garden, and then yesterday got a mailer for the BoA Customized Cash Rewards with a SUB of $200 on $1k spend. (Pre-selected)

The mailer did NOT have a set APR, instead having a range large enough to span the earth. Nevertheless, reports here and elsewhere are that the BoA pre-selected 'part of a firm offer of credit' mailers are pretty solid led me to pull the trigger, obtaining an instant approval with SL of $17k. HP was EX, and I'm in Texas.

The SUB matches the website generally offered one, so this was no huge lure, but BoA and Chase have been on my bucket list. I have been waiting to apply for both, as my profile shows a lot of inquires (most are from mortgage pulls) and a few new accounts. New accounts = Mortgage (2 months), 2 Personal Loan (1 @ 2 months, 1 @ 7 months), 3 Cards (2 @ 2 months, 1 @ 12 months).

 

Rest of the data points = sig info is current, but I did not recalculate the lower utilization with this card addition.

Fico8 = EQ 759, TU 780, EX 751 (9/15/2024), INQ in 12 mo: EQ 2, TU 4, EX 5
Cards: NFCU: Flagship VS $45k, Plat $24.3k, Plat $10.7k | Amex: Delta Reserve $50k | Citi: DC WE MC $28.8k | Discover: It $32.5k | Barclays: Juniper $18.25k | USAA: PCR VS $24.5k, RA $10k | UMB: SR VS $15k | PenFed: Path VS $20k, Plat Rew VS $15k | Synchrony: Lowes’s store $25k | Truist: Bright $10.5k, Bright $6.5k | Cap1: Venture1 Plat MC $10.3k, Kohls store $3k | Comenity: MyCash MC $27.5k | Wells Fargo: AC $10.3k | TD Bank: Target MC $6k (Reports as retail card despite now being MC) | BoA: CCR VS $42.5k | Affinity FCU: Premium VS $25k | Others

Congrats!  While SLs can be random with this particular card there are a few figures that come up fairly regularly, and $17K is the highest of all of them.   I'm sure you realize that if you treat the card well it can grow significantly.
