Discover IT Finally Something!

After almost 3 years of gardening Discover finally gave me an offer, a secured offer and I happily took it. Foot in! EQ score in the mid 600's, 1 Inquiry and 12% usage with 3 really anoying baddies like a $37.23 paid from old electric company that I can't seem to get rid of. I just have my 3 Capital One cards QS $3500, Platinum $750 and Buy Power $500. 4 years average age as I cosed a bunch of sub primes I got in my building and made the choice to trash them 2 years ago. I have been stalking Discover and Amex for about 5 years now and they just don't seem to like me for some reason. Very happy and I'm being stuborn and I wont app for anythihng else but Amex now even if it takes me 20 more years of gardening. Maybe in a year I'll start hitting up the Amex pre qual again. Someday they may like me!
