2nd Discover

So i was approved for a discover it chrome about 5 months ago. Solid APR of %23 (high). SL 2,400 Credit score around 630 Experian fico 8, Bankruptcy 2016. I went on the preapproval site and im prequalified again. Same APR but this time my bankruptcy is gone. Last month i had charged 2,300 on my discover. I paid 900. Should i wait for my balance to update on my Experian before i app.

You can only get one Discover card per year and a max of two is what I was told.

Re: 2nd Discover

Yep.. have to wait until your first discover is a year old.. and i mean 12 statements vs time.....that prequal is a lie ....

 

Then you can app for a second.... Its likely a rejection... but id wait for discover to do the monthly pull and try for a CLI however after they pull your monthly score....

Re: 2nd Discover

Discover does a soft FICO pull every month to give you the in-account credit score....

But they also use that data for their soft pull Credit Line Increases...
