Hi,
It's been a few days since I logged online, but everytime I do I find good news like yours. Unlike others, I like to explore into your success and give you more than the typical "congrats" because since I started rebuilding, I take myself and others in here very seriously. I am happy for you, and I am extremely glad that you are seeing progress. I have one thing to tell you actually.. Do you remember when you got declined for a secured card? I'm sure you do, what if TODAY 9/15/14 after seeing some your success, you could go back in time and talk to yourself few months back when you got declined for a secured card. What would you have told that guy? would you have told him that things would get better to hang on??, that soon he would get approved for a few cards??? or would you say, " Oh well, the limits you would get with your future cards are not going to be so great " the story here is, it doesn't matter what your limits are.
You have achieved, you have moved forwards towards your personal goals. In my mind, I don't personally care if I got low limits as long as my goals are accomplished with an American Express, Discover, or any other companyt worth being customer of just like some of the greats members here. Remember, we will always do better, we learned from our mistakes, and now we are fixing them to reach our goals. Have a good day!
Enjoy your cards!

Thank you very much, and I sincerely appreciate this post!! When I applied and was denied a secured credit card I felt the lowest of the low... I didn't even know it was POSSIBLE to be denied a secured credit card!!! I try to post both my success and failures in hopes that it will help SOMEONE out there. I actually just applied for a the Amazon.com store credit card tonight and was approved with a limit of $600! It's awesome how much progress can be made in a short time . . . I knew my situation could get better with work, but didn't know it could be THIS QUICK.
Now I have the following credit cards:
$300 - QuicksilverOne by Capital One (this card was upgraded last month from the Capital One Classic Platinum MasterCard) CLI to $500 in Nov 2014 via Credit Steps Program
$200 - OpenSky Secured Visa Credit Card
$250 - Walmart Store Credit Card
$2000 - Capital One Platinum MasterCard
$600 - Amazon.com Store Credit Card
I plan to, as they say, "Garden" until May 2015 and re-apply for the Barclaycard Rewards MasterCard that declined me last month. They said that everything looked OK, but that I only had one card open (at the time of application) and for only three months; and, they would like to see how I handle mutliple cards for AT LEAST 9-12 months. We shall see... 
congrats
