That was a wonderfully informative post -- thank you. And Congrats! on your three approvals -- Chase, AMEX, Disco -- a regular "Murderers Row" right there. Smiley LOL You're certainly well-positioned. 

 

As to your question: Discover counts calendar months, not days. You must have the card open three months (partials count) to be eligible for the 1st CLI. So in your case March, April, May counts three. Come June 1 you can start smashing! Smiley LOL

I applied today for three cards, I tried to garden but I wanted to get a few cards before lending got tight on new approvals and CLI.

 

I started the day 3/24 and was concerned about the Chase 5/24 rule so I did the following:

 

Applied for Amex BCE approved for 6k then applied for Chase Freedom approved for 4.8k and finally Discover IT CB approved for 4k

 

I am done now for a good while, I can start gardening hear for at least 12mo is the goal. At that point the HP from March 2019 will fall off. 

 

At the time of HPs my Experian FICO Score 8 was 756.

 

After all three pulls were done my score dropped 6 points to 750.

 

All three cards were instant approvals, and I had been prequalified for all cards before applications as well. However, Discover would not tell me my limit until I chatted them online. I am going to try the Amex 3x SP CLI at 61 days. Also, when possible try the double dip on Discover. Any feedback afterwards is greatly appreciated. After today, I will have 8 inquiries in the last 24 months: 6 for new accounts that were approved, 1 for a mortgage preapproval, and 1 for a WF CLI. I have to start watching my AAoA which before today was 5yrs 8months, after wrecking my credit 5 years ago and rehabbing in a focused way.

 

Current Accounts:

 

Opened 2014:

WF Platinum - 900

 

Opened 2019:

Capital One V1 - 6000

Capital One QS - 3500

Citi DC - 8400

 

Opened 2020:

Amex BCE - 6000

Chase Freedom - 4800

Discover IT - 4000

 



Congratulations on your approvals!

Nice trifecta!! All good cards with growth potential!! Chase only does HP CLI, but show auto CLI with heavy use.

Thanks @blindambition I went for the Chase card since I bank with them and they sent me the preapproval constantly on the app. When I applied they gave me a limit better than they suggested on my Chase app and also a better APR by 2 points.

Thanks @James_A for the info!! I'll make sure to get good use out of the Disco right up until the SP DD. It'll be perfect timing with Summer around the corner.
