After seeing on here that Discover was offering a secured 'it' card, I decided to apply as I like the cashback offers, purchase/travel coverages, and my parents have always had good luck with their customer service. I didn't think I'd get an unsecured one, but I knew you had to apply, get denied, get offered the secured one, etc. so I filled out the app a few days ago. Well, this morning they called and left a VM asking me to call back, and when I did, they offered me an unsecured card! I was pleasantly surprised to say the least! It's a smaller limit ($1400), and a higher APR (22% I think she said) - but i won't carry much of a balance to rack that up. I'm just looking at it as a foot in the door with them to build a good history. I don't know who they pulled, and I honestly don't know my scores right now (I guess I'll find out since they show your TU FICO =) - but I've still got old collections & stuff I'm trying to sort out that are showing. I do have a SDFCU secured card w/ $3500 limit that I carry some balance on and always pay way more than the minimum on, a car loan that's about a year old (and previous ones going back farther), etc. - so my current stuff is all positive. Anyway, not a bad start to 2014 - some signs of progress in financial recovery
