I don't really need the credit, I went for the increase to lower my utilization percentage. I don't want to be bothered to fill out the forms, I'm super lazy I guess

Thanks again for the heads up.
Appreciate it, truly.

That's pretty high for a denial.Damn I got denied for Discover It with a credit score of 642
I have heard that Discover is the stingiest of the cards for approval. I plan on getting one in November once my no interest period with Chase runs out. I credit NT with putting me on.

Thy aren't stingy at all
I feel like they approve a lot of people, I had low credit score due to not having credit and had a secured card and that was it and got approved instantly
My brother basically had zero credit and was approved

I got denied with a referral and my score was a 657 basically they said I had to many new account on my report they want more proof credit history. But they would approve me if I could find someone to joint account with me.

How many new accounts did you have?
I got denied at first last year when I still had a collection showing on my credit report. They listed that as the reason for my denial. But a year later and removing the collection I was approved instantly at like a 690 or so score

My approval letter from Discover came with a 805 or 803 Equifax FICO score and they gave me the 5-7 day decision online. I hadn't applied for a credit card in years so apparently they wanted to make sure it was me before they approved it. I've seen horror stories on myfico forums about Discover approvals though. I always thought them and Capital One were the easiest cards to get.

Referrals have nothing to do with the approvals/denials.

You know you're doing well when you have almost 20 credit cards and the bank is calling you to ask if a $8300 credit line is okay with you for your new card.
