Discover IT unsecured approved $5K limit - 17 months post CH7 Discharge!

This is my biggest (unsecured) victory so far!  On a whim I did the Discover pre-qualification tool and it came back that I was pre-approved for all 3 cards.  I decided to shoot my shoot and apply for the IT standard card.  It came back within about 15 seconds saying I was approved and with a generous $5K limit!  

 

I did get an almost immediate alert that the actual app was an Experian HP.  My EX scores are as follows:

 

FICO 08:  690

FICO 09:  704

FICO Bankcard 08:  692

FICO Bankcard 09:  702

 

I'm not sure what specfic score model they used but the HP was only Experian.  

 

This is a proud moment after I've done a careful rebuilding with a few on time/paid off car loans over the almost 2 years, a few starter unsecured cards, and a NFCU secured card (should unsecure in very late June).  This is the highest limit I've had in my post BK history but I am curious if I should try to do a CLI before receiving the actual card in 5-7 days as the email stated.  I remember reading that you could request that with no detriment.

What has your journey of rebuilding been a bit up to qualifying for this? Last app/s? How long did you patiently wait since your last apps? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 If you're comfortable sharing any of those, please. 🙏🏻
