CSP Goal

It's been awhile since I've been on here. I started couple years ago and my goal was to one day own a CSP. Last week, I decided it was time to apply for the CSP and ended up getting the 7-10 pending message. I called in the next day with the backdoor number and the lady told me it was declined due to my low income, which I expected because my only income is my internship. She told me my income is way too low for the minimum $5000 credit limit and I told her my BCE had a limit of $5600 at the time. She said it didn't matter and I went on telling her that my Freedom card was $4000 which I asked if she could move some of the limit over to the CSP for approval. She replied saying the only way is to close the freedom card. I asked her if there's anyway I can keep the freedom card by dropping the credit limit down $500. She put me on hold for about 15-20 minutes and came back to tell me it's approved! All that hard work finally paid off and I thought there was no way I will be able to get a CSP while still in college.

I timed it perfectly with my car insurance and tuition payments, so I shouldn't have a problem meeting the spending bonus.
