Need More Info 

The one card is high UTL but what is your total limits accross all cards( $) maybe the UTL is lower 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

If you get UTL down to about mininum 20% I don't think you would have a problem getting approval

Re: Thinking of pulling the trigger for Discover IT

Discover IT won't touch me for some reason.  Oh well... I disrupted my gardening... forgetting NFCU is hard inquiry happy -- with NAVchek increase request.  Granted for what I want, appreciative, but ick!  I was three weeks in -- so requested a $3,000.00 in my Cash rewards... I'll take one or the other since Discover IT won't play nice with me.
