DISCOVER IT APPROVED!!

[Joteism]

 Sorry about the font, this thing refuses to cooperate.

I'm sooooo thrilled!!! I've been in the garden since I did the shopping cart trick for my Express card a month ago (last app before that in 08/12) and after seeing all of these approvals for Discover, I just couldn't help myself. I swear, I was sweating profusely throughout the whole application process. But it went perfect! After filling out the first page with address, income etc., it submitted that info and came back with another screen that asked me to enter my occupation and length of employment (I kind of had a feeling that this step may be skipped for someone with an excellent credit profile. But after I entered that, it just said:

Congrats (My Name), You're our newest cardmember.

Thanks for choosing Discover itTM. When your card arrives in the mail, call to activate it. Then enjoy the treatment you deserve.

I'm sitting here in my cubicle and seriously got teary eyed when I saw that and I still can't believe it!

It said the card will be here in 7-10 days and nowhere did it tell me my credit limit.

My credit profile:

656 - EQ FICO (1 inq)

701 - TU FICO (1 inq) (I finally made it to the 700 club this past weekend [do I qualify with only one bureau at 700+ ]

3 PIF Collections from 2008-09.

Cards - 6% Utilization:

Cap 1 Card ($600)

MEFCU Card ($500)

Express Store Card ($500)

AU on BOA CashRewards ($500)

Congrats to us!   I just got off the phone with CS - $3000 CL!!!!! This is friggin' amazing!! I was trying to stay cool when she said it, but I know she could tell! Haha.

I couldn't have started the week off any better! I mean... Just 6 months ago I had to recon for my secured credit card with my credit union!

Seeing all of these is making me want to come out of the garden for IT more and more, even though I do already have a Discover lol

Thanks!    That's exactly what I said in my head, "Did you guys forget to run my credit!?"  And that final.... "Oh and one more thing, Sir - Welcome to Discover" sent me skipping around like Mary Poppins around my office. And I'm a burly dude.
