Re: how harrd is it to get a Discover card

I have no clue what my TU score was when I applied but my EQ score was 699. My overall utilization on my CCs at the time was about 68% and they approved me with a $4k limit and 0% APR for 12 months.

They did give me a 30 day wait notice (I thought that meant I was denied) but a rep called me a few days later and asked a few questions before approving me.

I think you have a very good chance of getting approved.

Discover card is not an easy approval. Generally, you need scores that are well over 700.

Would you be interested in a card from a different company? Do you know your 3 FICO scores?

Scores alone (assuming you have no BK) you should be approved for:
 
Amex Gold Delta Skymiles (try and covert to a better card such as Blue, Blue Cash, Clear or whatever your heart desires at activation). Probably will pull EX
 
Hooters should pull TU
 
WAMU should pull TU
 
CITI PP should pull EQ
 
I have no way of knowing if they will give you a 5K CL though.

Unless you must have a new CC now, I say wait.
