Got in with Lowes

I was shopping for house stuff and spent a grip and right now am planning to up my lawn game and get a small tractor. I just need a small one so I am not taking too long to cut. When I got home, I applied for the Lowe's card and got approved for $1000 with an number and security code to use immediately. I selected the option for electric statements and close the site.

Data points:
Rebuilding stage with some later for 2011, 12, 13,
Mortgage late from 14.
No judgements now
Score is at 673
UTIL is at 33%

Congrats on your approval!  I would call the overseas Credit Solutions number immediately and ask for $25k.  They will recon!  I was approved for like 4-5k and a quick call made that $17k.

Re: Got in with Lowes

No, I called less than 5 minutes after getting the approval.  No additional pull will be done.  I just told them I had a lot of home improvement projects coming up and didn't want to max the card out.

That sound like a plan for me this week. I looked up some old threads were some did this before and after. Doesnt hurt to try. Lowes actually has stuff in stock when I am there and I spend a lot there on home maintenance.  Thanks K -in-Boston

Done!  Thanks for reminding me.  I tried it on the website and the page loaded so fast I was sure it was a decline, but I was approved for the full $25k that I asked for.  I may have left some money on the table, but I think I have passed $400k in revolving lines and don't really need a higher Lowe's line just because I might be able to get one.

 

Blackswizz750, any updates?

Re: Got in with Lowes

Card is slightly less than 5 months old. Made a few purchases under $100 and PIF, and 1 6mo 0% purchase of about $600, so about 3.5% util now under 1%. Overall util on my reports is 25%, that's down to about 23% now when the new accounts and CLIs post.
