Discover... Finally got it!!!

I am 14 months post Chapter 7 and since then I've been working real hard to rebuild my credit. I started with the following:

 

Ollo - $600

Merrick Bank - $550 (graduated to $1150 in July)

Wayfair - $900 (this card was later convert to a comenity bank card, kept the same credit limit)


Always PIF and just leave a balance on one card.
CU is 10%.


Fico scores:

Ex - 674

Eq - 647

TU - 682

 

Experian kept displaying a match with Discover IT Cash Back and decided to pull the trigger. Be hold I was approved for $7000.

 

Pretty excited to see how patience has paid off.
