Merrick Bank Approved!

So, as many here may (or may not) know, and as my signature says, I've been rebuilding since April 2019. Prior to that, I had some financial troubles caused by trying to help out family.

 

Anyway, fast forward to now, and I've made great progress and improved my scores nearly 100 points. Decided to try to get a Merrick Bank card to help with rebuild and give me my third revolver, and was approved for $500!

Nice. 

 

Ive had a Merrick card for five years. It has actually been very decent. Got regular increases and they havent been bad to deal with. It started out at 500 and eventually got up to 4k so I kept it and use it occasionally

Great job! I feel like Merrick has been my best rebuilder card in at least one way: crediting my payments quickly. 
Mine is about to double soon, it's been a great rebuilder. The app is perfectly functional--however: you can't add it to Apple wallet, and you'll need to read your statements online and not in the app.
