I don't usually initiate posts in the Approvals section - but I wanted to post this one is for all my LOL/24 peeps out there to give them hope!
At the advice of @coldfusion , I decided to app for the ELAN MCP Card (Valley Bank version) yesterday (story here)
After 10 months of no apps (well no successful apps, yeah, I am talking to you again Citi! )
I was instantly approved for $21,500!
My stats are as follows prior to the app:
TU F09: 800 (USB pulls TU/F09 for me)
1% UTIL
0/6, 2/12, 13/24 on New Accounts (2 NEW accounts are from February 2021)
AAoA: 2-years 6-months
0/6, 1/12, 5/24 on INQs on TU
NO Derogs, No Late Payments.
I noticed since the app, Credit Karma is showing a 4-point drop. Heck Experian does that and more for laughs, so I can live with that
So for all you LOL/24 peeps out there, and I know there's a lot, don't give up. There's hope yet!
Congratulations! I would've been almost sure you would get approved just because you were 2/12 which is under 3/12 the upper limit for getting approved for this card. Maybe some day I'll make it to 10 months no apps. lol
Great approval! Congrats!
congrats to you!

Yeah, I would have to agree with @Beast26 . I don't think your approval is that odd at all. I mean you are almost 10 months removed from your last new account.
Congrats on a nice approval
@Wavester64 congrats on your approval
Thank you, this is very helpful since I'm about halfway through the process of waiting myself. I broke down and got 1 card, but was hoping to app at 0/6, 1/12, 12/24.
Congratulations on your Max Cash Preferred approval!
Congrats! We have these MCPs on regular rotation for most of the categories, they are in "set it and forget mode".
Congrats on the approval!
