Anyway, I've been gardening for a while (as of last week only one new account in the last 12 months, a CSP in February) and I'm about as "pretty" credit-wise as I'm ever going to be. I figured that if there's ever a chance of getting the AR - even with a small credit line - this is the time.
I applied on Saturday night, and it went to review. I had mixed-feelings on that, since on the one hand I had already decided to not recon (either a denial or credit line) but on the other hand having to wait is never fun. When it went to review, though, I knew that at least I wouldn't be having to recon a denial since 'eyes' would already be on the app, and hopefully I wouldn't be stuck with a system-generated tiny credit line.
A few hours ago I got this message:
You could have knocked me over with a feather.
I would have been pleased with a $5k credit line, and over-the-moon with $10k, but $15k... I admit I'm quite happy.
I have a lot of credit for my income (many would say too much) but apparently that didn't bother them. I have no idea why they can be so tough on some with great profiles, but I suspect having all my secondary bureaus open and only having one new account in 12 months likely made a difference.
So for all my gardening friends, gardening really does work... I'm proof!
Holy Wazookas @UncleB!!! CoNgRaTs my friend!! You sneaky little man Very well done....and, no charity on this one LOL
