So, I'm doing the shopping today and realized I forgot the DH's Target red card (he has the debit version). We've never bothered getting a second card because usually we're together when we are shopping. I didn't want to lose that sweet 5% off so I jumped out of the garden and apped for their credit card. I got a tiny little $500 starting limit, but I'm sure I can get the limit to grow. The DH is going to cancel his version and I'll just add him to my card. I was surprised to get approval as I'm still rebuilding and my scores are in the 620s-640s. I did just have a collection baddie get removed so I'm sure that helped in my approval.
I can tell you feel guilty about leaving the garden since you “announced” it there before here! LOL
Congrats on the approval. Took 14 years and several lenders owning this account before I got a CLI, but thanks to this forum I know that some combination of using it monthly, letting the balance report on the statement, paying in full, and updating income every single month even if it’s the same seems to be working with TD Bank.
After giving this a second read, I think a formal inquiry is needed. First “a piece of the fence broke” and you “fell,” now you say you jumped out. Shenanigans!

Well congrats Adkins on a nice pickup. Just look at it like this , all those people who were given and stuck at $300 for years, you just made a stellar leap in cl and are now the proud receipient of K's. TARGET PLATINUM LOL, red not purple
And I thought the $500 was super low!

I jumped as I was falling! I didn't want to hurt myself! 😁
