wrote:Hi! I'm a newbie and I've been lurking awhile before I officially joined while investigating people's use of the Delta Skymiles Reserve card which I have. I was trying to see what cards I could apply for based on my current scores.
I've been having a stressful time of it lately as I'm trying to find a job and, of course, bills, rent, etc. are due and worried how I was going to pay them. Not much left in checking or savings (been out of work since June of last year and living on savings). After reading about the good fortunes with Discover approvals, I decided to go to their website and see if I would be pre-approved and I was! Though when I went through the process, they needed to verify my address. I uploaded my cable bill. Then they needed me to call! Yeah, I'm thinking, no way, will I get this. But after a few questions, she says that I'm approved for a $7,000 SL! And on top of that, BoA gave me a $3,000 CLI, so now I am at $4,500 with them!! And I didn't even ask for it! I can't believe this! I've been working very hard to get my credit together over these last couple of years. This has been a very good week for me! Next, job!
Very Nice! Congrats to you on your success, and welcome to the boards!!
