I got denied all the time. I had no real work history (self employed since i was 16)
But i finally got a Kay Jewelers card when i was buying a necklace for my GF. it was only $300 but it worked.
Then i got approved for a Capital One card. They gave me $200, and now 8 months later its $3000.
Now i get pre-approved for a ton of cards.
I only want one, so i am ditching my household bank card and sticking with Capital One. I have had the HB card for a little less time than the C1 card and they never upped my credit, or dropped my APR its like 25%
The C1 card was 22 and now is 16.
I never make minumum payments, and pay it off when i can afford it.
Def. give Capital One a try.
