I Took A Chance on 2008-09-18

I am not sure with the limit was the rep said he did not have that info before him at the time

he told me that I should get the card in 5 to 7 days that's kinda fast.

I did not think it was true so I checked on the site and it says

Discover Motiva Card

DISCOVER on 2008-09-19

Congrats on your new card! You'll love Discover. I got mine last month, nice limit, and the cashback really adds up quick. Web site is very easy to navigate, and customer is superior as well. Just remember to keep your utilization low on the card, as they are not the easiest to get cli's from. They can be pretty stingy.

Welcome to the Discover family!! Good luck with it!

Great on 2008-09-19

You are really blessed as Discover proper is not an easy card tog et. Do you know which CB they pulled?

Take care of this card and you should get more premium card offers.

Congrats Also on 2008-09-20

I had Discover from 1996 to 1999 should have kept it open. They didn't have all these versions of the card back then. Did you call the number to apply, that may be a better way not to get back to the HSBC discover that I got. Will try for this card again later next year.

I Am In on 2008-09-20

Thanks every one it feels good to get a nice card for a change and not get the finger.

trust me I had no idea I was going to get this card dumb me was calling to get some info on the HSBC Discover.

I guess its time for me to stop thinking small, I would have never in a million years thought I would get approved for this card or any other in its class and odd enough I just got an offer from Citi today for one of there cards but I am not going to take it cause I have enough cards and I already have more inq's on my report than I need.

one thing that I am trippin on is that walmart gave me the finger for the Discover card that they offer.

Update on 2008-09-20

I called to see what the limit was and the computer said it was 2000 and then I spoke with a rep and they told me that they want me to use the card for 6 months and I will get an auto cli.

i see more and more banks are doing this, they want to see how you use the card and what you use the card for before taking any chances of giving you more than you need.

i am cool with what they have given me cause they are taking the chance on me and did not have to so, I am not going to let them down and I will show that I can be trusted and that goes for all the cards I have.

i now have a new outlook on credit and I understand that none of these banks owe me or anyone anything, I often hear people fuss about fees and other things but me myself I know that if I charge $500 on a card and the bank only charges me $12 dollars interest to use the money that's not mine in the first place then I think that's a small price to pay to have something you want or you can sit there with no credit and just have $12 dollars in your pocket.

with that being said I would like to thank everyone here and the banks for for giving me a chance when they did not have to.

oh P. S.

for the people who want to know how I got here it was CAP 1 and a not much heard of Aspen card that many people don't like.

my cards:

cap 1 :$1000 1yr

cap 1 :$500 1 month

Aspen :$750 1 yr

kay jewelers :$4300 2 months

crown jewelers :$2500 3 months

best buy store :$1400 3 months

best buy mc :$300 3 months

orchard bank :$300 3 months

macys :$600 3 months

now Discover :$2000 3 days

as of now I don't need any more cards and I wont close any of them and I will take care of all of them.

WOW that was long ha!

This Is Crazy on 2008-10-02

I dont mean to sound stupid. But it seem like we are kissing the credit card people a$#
Just to get something from them. If this is the way
Then I guess I better start kissing some of that ass too

But if its not what I come to conclude.
Then someone tell me different.

Think About It on 2008-10-26

Well just think about it you have to give some to get some.

do you want to be the dude outside looking in the window wishing you could buy what you are looking at but cant cause First PREMIER gave you a card with a 300 cl and 280 of it is already gone and you have not used the card or would you rather be in the store getting that item with your new Discover card with a 2k cl and not have to worry about fees for having the card and fees for paying your bill?

so I would rather give a kiss than to be bent over waiting to get f**ked.
