Discover It Approval w/ data points & my history

So excited! Discover IT APPROVAL!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. And my highest CL!

 

I applied back in December w/ ficos around 580-590 and was denied, no counter offer for secured. Today my EQ/EX updated my last statment and my score raised significantly (658 fico 8 ex/eq), so I did the prequal online and could not find any offers, showing a range from 11.49-24.5x% 14mo balance transfer 0% etc.

 

I decided to pull the trigger and applied anyway, and it came back imediately with a counteroffer.

I can't seem to attach any images to this post but in short it said they could not approve my application but please accept the new offer, 23.49% apr, 10.99% apr for 6mo and then 23.49 w/ 3% fee, same cash rewards offer but no posted CL. I accepted the offer and was brought to a page requesting proof of address and social security card.

I immediately uploaded a copy of my last capital one statment and left work for the day. When I got home, I had 2 missed calls from Discover, I called back and she advised after a convo she could finish the app without proof of ssn - and within 1 minute on hold came back with $1800 CL! 

 

My data points below - again I can't add these images so pardon the long post..

 

EX                              TU                               EQ

658                        658                               643                  FICO 8

$2/$1501  0%       $369/$1401  26%         $2/$1501  2%  CC debt/Utilization

$1486                   $1853                            $1486              Total Debt

3                           2                                    1                      Accounts ever late

1.9yr                     4.4yr                             2yr                   Time Since Negative

5                           10                                  4                      Inquiries

10.8yr                    6.7yr                             5.8yr               Length of history

3.9yr                      2.1yr                             1.3yr               Average Account Age

 

My current cards/loans:

 

Cap1 Secured     13mo  $ 501  CL  

Cap1 Quicksilver  3mo  $ 600  CL (CLI from $500 last week, right before 3rd statement)

Credit one             3mo   $ 400  CL 

NFCU  not reported!       $1300 CL

CU loan                 7mo   $550/$1500

CU LOC                4mo   $700/$750 (Just figured out this reports at end of month, will report 0 this next statement!)

 

My questions:

1. Can I request a CLI w/ discover before I recieve the card/activate? - Is this advised? I don't "need" it.

2. I plan to apply for NFCU auto/cloc in 12mo - the only other cards I want is synch amazon / synch walmart. I see these are TU pulls - Should I wait another few days for TU to update my new utilization /score increase before applying for these 2?

3. If I do apply for these today, or next week - will that hurt my AAoA too much and maybe cause concern for auto/cloc in 12mo?

 

Either way, either Garden now or after these 2 applications.. December FICO 552. March FICO 653!

 

Thanks for everything so far guys, I can't wait to keep growing and I hope my experience helps current and future members.
