Experian FICO 8 = 685

That's a heck of a lot more than $1k. How does it compare to your other credit lines? Why did you expect a smaller SL?

I had BK discharge 2 years ago. CapOne was burned but they were the first to approve me for a Platinum at $500 CL a few days after discharge.

I had been trying Discover's online pre-approval often with denied letters. Today I tried it again and said I was pre-approved for 2 cards. So I slept on it on for a few hours and decided to go for it....approved for 10K!!

I currently have:

-CapOne Quicksiler (UP from Platinum) at 1500CL

-Mercury Card at 2750 CL

And personal loans from Upgrade and Best Egg.
