Odds of getting Discover it card?

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.

 

Available credit: 2950

Overall Credit: 3650

 

HhGregg: 700/2000

Fingerhut: 0/1300

walmart:0/100

buckle: 0/250

 

1 capital One Charge off of 289

 

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

Starting Score: 525 TU 515 EX 510 EQ Oct '13
Current Score: 644 TU(Oct 14) 678 EX(Oct 2014) 684 EQ (Oct'14)
Goal Score: 700 and a Home in 1yr

Re: Odds of getting Discover it card?

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!

Discover IT $17k / US Bank Ace (VSig) $13.5K / US Bank Cash+ (VSig) $13.5k
Sam's Mastercard $15k / Walmart Mastercard $10k / Blispay $7.5k PayPal Ex MC $10.8k
CareCredit 5k / Husq $5k / Cap1 QS $4.5k / Barclay Ring $5.35k / Citi DC (WMC) $12k

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.

Re: Odds of getting Discover it card?

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 would garden for 6 months. In my experiance Discover is picky about baddies. I was denied with my scores around 650.
