What other cards do you have, snowsurf? A lack of credit history could be hurting you, since you have what we call a thin file and lenders won't be able to determine how well you have manged credit in the past. This is a major indicator of future credit performance, and is generally helpful for getting new credit cards.

Thanks. I guess I will wait for CC #3 (just opened) to report for a few months, and see what it does for me. Then I might give it a go.
Love them and their CSRs, they're always so chipper when you call them...

I debated for a minute, then figure, why not. I app'd and got an approval, but there was a problem with the site and I couldn't register. I called CS and talked to a CSR out of Salt Lake City Utah. She said it looks like you've been approved for a Discover It with a CL of $5500. My next highest CL is my Barclay NFL at $2500 so this more than doubled it!
Congrats!! Nice limit!
