Just wanting to share some data points with the community that might be helpful for someone else for an Apple Card. I have been working on rebuilding my credit over the last few years and while my credit score is still a work in progress (came from low 490's in 2017/2018 to mid to high 600's, see data points below) , I have a long employment history as well as income to support the credit line from an underwriting stand point ...$365k combined household income( I know there are many factors...Apple allows you to claim combined household income on App FYI). The challenge is I have a thin credit profile for my age even though my credit history is somewhat long. They did a HP of my TU FICO 9 score and my score came back as 636. My worst baddies are from 5 late payments on my Chase Saphire Card (open from 2013 ...4 from 2018 + 1 from mid 2019 that appear on all my reports and 2 closed installment loans that I paid off in full...1 in full no lates and 1 in full 2 lates from 2017which only appear on my TU reports. I got an approval of $1500k at 21.99% APR. I've heard you can get an credit limit increase every 3 months with Apple if you use around 25% on average which I would plan to pay before the close period each month. This is only my 3rd credit card which brings my total CL to $16,250. Anyone with experience requesting CLI from Apple and the time in which you have to wait to request one? Thanks in advance.

Good to know. Did not know this. Is it a SP?
Congratulations 🥳🎉🎊
It's a SP for the application but a HP on acceptance of the offer.
