I'm super excited about this. Came in from work and decided to check any updates to my FICO scores. My Experian jumped to a 604 from 598 last week (FYI, I started with a 534 on 1/19/2018 when starting my rebuild). Anyway, Finally seeing myself pass 600 was an amazing feeling! I'm still excited about it. Since starting my rebuild, I applied for the Citi Secured (Approved) and was denied for Cap1 and Discover (really wanted Discover more than anything else). My GF was approved for Discover Secured in Feb so I was added as an AU. Anyway, after seeing my score past 600, I decided to give it a shot and use the Discover prequal (even though I've been denied via prequal about 13 times). Waiting, waiting...WAITING! BOOM...Pre-Approved! I couldn't believe my eyes. I know it isn't a huge deal since it's only a secured card but I've been really wanting this card since it graduates so early and offers cash back on everyday purchases. Can't wait to receive it in the mail and pop it in my wallet. Thanks to everyone that's been helping me out with tips and posting some amazing strategies to implement on my credit rebuilding journey.
