accepted with a 666 and 2 hard inquiries in the past 2 years...did have to call and verify some information. choosing a design was also a bit confusing but overall went smoothly for my first credit card. read tons of reviews on numerous sites and this card seems to be the best fit for me as a student who plans to not carry a balance and use the card primarily for gas and groceries. also - i preferred cash back to points."

Reply Cancel ReplyApprove. CK score 696. Applied on 12/19, a Saturday. Needed further processing then. On 12/21, a phone call came and I was approved."

Reply Cancel ReplyMy score is 686/702/718 for Tra/Equ/Exp but I have 12 hard inquires (I didn't know that it is very bad to have so many inquires before...). I really want to have a Discover card, however, it seems I will be declined in 0.01 second. Anybody here agrees if I can make it or maybe just wait for 1.5 more years until those inquires are gone..."

Reply Cancel ReplyDenied. As a student. It says this:
EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF RECENTLY OPENED ACCOUNTS
INSUFFICIENT NUMBER OF BANK CARDS WITH A BALANCE
EXCESSIVE NUMBER OF FINANCE INQUIRIES
My school has pulled my credit rating twice... This will bring it up to three... ouch.
Does the second one mean they want me to have prepaid cards?
I haven't opened any accounts for anything recently though, what does that mean I've opened too many??"

Reply Cancel ReplyThose are generic decline reasons. Most times lenders don't write their own and use standard reasons that don't really mean much. If you got declined for a student card, try a secured credit card or a card from your bank.

They probably didnt see any checking or savings accounts on your credit report that was opened. They probably also think your trying to overspend by excessive number of finance inquiries since your school pulled it twice.

Reply Cancel Reply660, declined in under 30 seconds. In the interests of full disclosure, I did have an account closed once."

Reply Cancel ReplyNo but seriously, how does discover expect people to get approved for this card if they hardly approve anybody!!!! I got denied with a 663 Transunion, 606 Equifax, and 657 Experian. Hey you guys, maybe it has something to do with Innovis???? I heard this is the 4th major bureau. I might want to check into that."

Reply Cancel ReplyDenied with a score of 663. I haven't seen nobody get approved for this with something below 700"

Reply Cancel ReplyI got approved and I have absolutely no credit. I just had to confirm I was a student. Credit Karma couldn't even give me a credit score because I had nothing to base the score on, and I still got approved for this card. I'm a sophomore in college and I have no job. I would actually encourage someone who has no credit and is a student to apply for this card, for the simple fact if I can get approved, other people with no credit can also get approved. Good luck!"
