I've started rebuilding my credit since January 2011. I wanted to add a store card to my garden so I decided to apply for an Amazon store card (because of this wonderful forum after comparing and researching my likelihood of getting approved) and was approved instantly for $800! Yay me!!! Small steps but very excited 
That is all.
When rebuilding credit, steps like this are important and are by no means small. Congrats on the approval and the nice starting CL!
