Hello SophieB.
The thread you had typed on was over 5 years old. I took your post and moved it here, keeping everything as it was but just changing the heading. If you want to change it just click on the options to the right and click "Edit Reply".
I figured I'd let the gurus here give you their words of wisdom.

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.
CareCredit is not very hard to get. I would say 620 and up FICO little bit of history with CCs no recent baddies should get it for you. GE isnt very CLI happy with this card ir is strictly HP for CLI. If you do not the CL you initially needed I would immediately recon it.
+1 the approval isnt that difficult, but the getting cli does require HP
Discover IT $2,600- First Premier MasterCard $1,000- Dillards Store Card $300- Fingerhut Advantage $200
Woah! $5,200 is very good. Congrats!

I just got a 5200cl through website the key is to put in a very high procedure amount they typically do 25/35% of that as your CL based on your fico they pulled TU on me in Ohio I'm 671..2%util..several good TL but still 6 old PD baddies hope this helps
EEEK so if my procedure is around $6k, I should request about $20k... 
May I ask what you requested, when you were given $5200?
I have had this card for little over a year. Started at $5000 initally and I am now at $19,800 if you can believe it LOL. I was looking into getting a boob job and asked for $20k when I asked for a CLI and got increased to $19k. I was really surprised at that!!
