DD Disco Approval! Her first line of credit.

My daughter recently turned 18, and is starting college in the fall. When I first learned about this forum nearly 2 years ago, I added her as an AU on a couple of my cards. Fast forward to now, we signed her up for a Credit Karma account just see if she had anything in her profile. To my surprise because of the nearly 2 year payment history, her TU Vantagescore was 748. We did a few prequals, and Disco gave her a preapproval for the Student It and the Chrome Card. She applied, and they gave her a $1500 unsecured credit line. 

I explained to her that she is off to a start in her credit journey that many people could never get. She's going to use to and pay it off month like she's being doing my cards for a while. 
Then she asks "Hey Dad - if one of the other cards has better cashback than mine does, can I still use yours?"  
I won't lie - it almost brought a tear to Dear Ol Dad's eye! 😂😂0377186A-CBA5-4CD0-B05C-253D9A35AC0A.jpeg

Congratulations on two counts: one, your daughter's Discover approval and, two, you (and I'm assuming your wife) raising her to be financially responsible. She sounds like she's off to a great start!

Yes, she's taken an interest in learning about it and she saves a lot good bit of her money from her job. The only sad part is for me that she'll probably get a Discover CLI before I will! 😂😂

 

Congrats on yours, BTW! 👍
