Discover IT and Amex Blue Cash Approval! Finally!!

Been working and trying to grow my credit for the past 2 years and could never get a Discover pre-approval. I tried this past thursday and was very suprised to get approved for a SL of $1900! It really feels good from only being able to get a $200 secured card, to a low limit $300 unsecured card, and finally getting a decent SL card. Looking forward to gardening more and moving up the tiers. 

 

Edit: I took a plunge and checked Amex pre-approvals, and was approved for the Blue Cash Everyday with an SL of $500 Smiley Very Happy

 

This was very unexpected since I recently took a huge 60 point hit from a new student loan consolidation that put my credit score under 600. I don't know how I was still approved, but very glad i was. In with both Discover and Amex, been trying for so long and finally got in. Smiley Very Happy

Congrats! Both of the cards will grow with you and can grow pretty rapidly. Make sure to go for you 60 day 3X on the Amex and smash the luv button when the soft-pull language shows up on Disco.
