I have made it a goal of mine to get this card. I wanted to get some feedback on what the odds could be. I know they are very unpredictable from what I have read, I am just hoping to find someone who has gotten approve with the same background as me.

credit score(Fico) as of 6/25: Eq 620 TU 619 Ex: ?
i just paid all my card balances down to zero to make my uti look good. I left the Hhgregg at 700 for now. I haven't gotten the new credit scores for this month b/c TU takes so long to update. So I figured once the CB has been updated on my utilization gone down, which would boost my score to what I hope are 640+ I should be in good shape for the discover it card. Any feedback would be great. Thanks
Utilization is figured on individual cards as well as total utilization of your cards. For your best score and chances of approval in my opinion have only one card report a balance from 1% to 9% utilization. Good Luck on your credit journey!
Anyway to get the CO removed, maybe by paying for deletion? With those scores you may get approved for the IT but they look a little low IMO.
Discover is really hard to please try to clean up whatever you can! low utilization make a payment on a baddie and apply in a few months.
Thank you all. I have tried to get a pay for deletion with Capital One, no luck. They sent it to a collection agency which hasnt shown on my report yet, so i was going to pay the collection agency to make sure it doesnt show on my report and try to goodwill capital one
I really want to apply for Discover IT but I think with my EQ Fico of 650 I will get denied
Currently I have;
Bank of America Cash Rewards Visa- 3000 limit - O balance
Barclay Apple Visa - 1000 limit - 0 balence
Capitalone Quicksilver One Mastercard- 4k limit - 220 balance
Merrick Bank Visa - 1500 limit - 0 balance
Gap card - 500 limit - 0 balance
Amazon store card - 0 balance 1200 limit
Target redcard - 300 limit - 0 balance
AAOA - 5.5 years, History 12 years.
I use all these cards monthly but PIF multiple times a month and let the card close with a zero balence. I have about 1% revolving utilization.
I have some baddies from 2010, 3 chargeoffs - 2 paid. And a bankruptcy that will fall off report in November 2014.
I need to garden for another 6 months but its just so hard!
I think you would get approved, but hey what do i know. That itch to app is so stressful lol. I just want to do and get it over with but i know in order to make sure I dont regret it, I want to be at my best credit wise before I go for it
I would garden for 6 months. In my experiance Discover is picky about baddies. I was denied with my scores around 650.
