So even though I was gardening since my last approval, when the X1 Visa was no longer on the waitlist, I wondered if I would have a better chance with them. I had received my email to apply when I was on the waitlist, but I didn't have any decent funds in my bank accounts at that time. I had recently gotten paid and linked my banks to see what happened. All of my three credit bureaus were frozen at the time of applying. I was pre-approved for $5,000 which I know is the absolutely bare minimum for a card that's supposed to issue insanely high limits. I wasn't worried about the limit. It will grow in time. I was pleased that I was approved, especially after all the HPs and credit cards I've acquired in the last 12 months. I took the offer and received my card today. Looking forward to using it at Nike and American Eagle, primarily.
Wondering if anyone else has managed to get approved for the card without an HP since the waitlist removal. If so, I'd love to know!
Congrats on your X1 Visa approval
Congrats on your approval overall..
With that said it still baffles me why people freeze CRA's or all of them in your case and hope for an approval which somehow you got, not sure how, but you obtained. a HP isn't the end of the world and indeed you are seeking credit thus a HP should be had so other lenders can see it. Please don't take this post the wrong way, but HP's are way to worried about and also skirting on the TOS of the forum although not crossing them in your case.
If you want a card open them all up and go for it, if your profile supports it you will get what you have applied for.
Enjoy the new card.
Congratulations!
Congrats on the approval. 🍻
