wndblwn06's review: 
I've wanted this card for a long time! Applied last summer and was denied and given the Direct Rewards Discover (was HSBC- now Capital One) instead. I wanted to wait until my Equifax score was over 700 to apply again as I heard that they often pull EQ. Applied today with a 715 EQ (with no negatives) and was told to wait 5-7 days for further review. Not showing an inquiry on EQ yet, so they may've pulled a EX or TU :/ Will update... Approved! $1,700 credit limit. I'm in the prime, I am soo excited!!

I haven't called and neither have they :/ I don't want to call and possibly get a quick approval with less than favorable terms. I did see that they pulled both EQ and TU (hard inquiries). TU is probably what made them have to reevaluate. I was 646 at the time, 50% utilization, no negatives. But since then the utilization has gone down 11%. I don't want to pull the TU fico AGAIN, but credit karma did put me up 30 or so points. Since i applied I went to their sight to see if I was pre-approved for anything and received a message that they couldn't confirm my address so I couldn't be pre- approved for anything (which is odd, since I applied last year from this address. But that gave me hope...maybe that was the only issue??!!) I'll just keep on playing the waiting game and update when i get the final answer.
