After a foreclosure and years of delinquent student loans, I never thought I would be trusted with credit again. I brought everything current that I could and worked with just cash for a few years, but last year after finding the forums I decided to jump back on the horse and see what might happen.
I started with Discover, REI MC and Chase Amazon for personal cards then Citi Costco and a Chase Ink Cash for my work. Discover grew from $8500 -> $13400, Citi Costco $5000 -> $10000 and Chase Ink $20000 -> $30000.
This past week I wanted to add some diversity so I apped for US Bank Cash+, Uber, PayPal and Citi AAdvantage... all approved! Fico scores sitting between 700-740s
Cash+ $1500 SL, will work for 5% categories
Uber $1500 SL, hope this grows...
PayPal $300, I literally laughed out loud when I read the approval. Meh, we’ll see how much use it gets.
Citi AAdvantage $5400, only apped for a trip our family is taking to NC in March. This limit will work just fine.
$8700 increase in credit this week for a total exposure of $78,600 since February 2018. Heading to the garden for now to see how I can make these cards work for me.
Thank you to the collective wisdom found here. This community has helped me rebuild and far exceed the credit profile I once possessed.

Congratulations on your approvals! This place is golden, isn't it?

By the way, my Paypal 2% Cashbach MC started at $700 in April 2018 and as of January 2019 has a CL of $8,000.
Did you request CLI or were they auto? Did you have to put a lot of spend through the card each month?
I think my Paypal will just be for loose ends/general spend where my other cards only give 1% back. I don't see a ton of spending through it each month.
@Stribe -
I see that you are a new member. Welcome to the myFICO forum! 
Super Congrats on your approvals! You certainly have come a mighty
long way after a foreclosure and years of delinquent student loans.
You have every reason to feel very proud of yourself. Very well done!
+1 on the PayPal 2% CB Mastercard. It grows very quickly. In addition,
you may want to contact PayPal and ask about the 1% Business Debit Card
so you can convert your 2% card into a 3% card. Once you have the Business Debit,
for every $100 spend you'll get $3 back: $1 from the Business Debit and another
$2 from the 2% CB MC. The Business Debit is a free upgrade. Call PP for details.
Congrats once again on your approvals. Thanks so much for sharing!
Congrats on the approvals and your journey.

I'll trade ya!
Good to know. I don’t need this card to be huge, just a little bit bigger than a trip to Walmart. I could easily spend $300 when feeding my two growing boys 😆
I’ll also look into that debit card for business. Thanks for the tip!
