Denied for Discover It Student Cash Back - Recon Successful!

[Anonymous]

Against everyone's recommendations, I applied for the Discover It Student Cash Back card. I have 2 HPs that aren't even a month old yet, and Discover can be touchy about that. I got a pre-approval, but got denied anyway... Backdoor reconsideration line was a success! $500 credit limit, but I'll take it.

My current card portfolio:

American Express Cash Magnet - $15,000 CL

Citi Double Cash - $500 CL

...and now the Discover It Student Cash Back - $500 CL

706 EX, 728 EQ, 736 TU

Way to learn that "no" is just a starting point in some negotiations ;-)

Congratulations on your success and thanks for the data ponts!

Enjoy your new card :-)
