I am pulling for you as well. And like someone said it, based on Credit Karma some people have been approved with lower scores so keep the faith but don't get your hopes too high though.

If income is high you'd have a shot at the green.

Good luck!!!

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Thanks everyone...

I remember back in 2011, AMEX offered me a "secured" version of their Green card by purchasing a $10k CD for a year and then adding funds as a secured amount. I did not have the resources for that then, but wish they offered it now!

Anyone take advantage of that?

Well...

Just checked the status of my app, and now it reads "DECLINED." I tried to view the reason but it did not load anything - guess I'll need to wait for the letter.

Should I attempt one more recon with a call, or just wait it out and go after secured cards?
