I've seen anywhere from $10K to $25K. They approved me for $20K which makes this my highest CL. As David Smith said, they are generally generous.
Thanks

Yes, they report to all 3.

In the thread from CB that I linked, there were a lot of $30K approvals which is the max limit. Their max used to be $50K.

Just curious, how did you hear of DDF ? And how would you compare DDF'ers to CB'ers ? :)

DDFers are very knowledgable about rewards and not so much about credit reports and scoring.

That's my honest opinion.

but I doubt that all CB'ers are so knowledgeable in scoring like you and cappy and pillan, as you mentioned you are in a lucky group with bobwang..... 
Do u have any different idea for a signature?

While that is true, a lot of what has been discussed regarding reports and scores here is 101 level info on CB that gets drilled into the heads of every newbie.

Having a solid knowledge of reports and scores can only help you in this game.

Definitely. However, i feel that in a way, CB people are the other extreme. They like having perfect scores and high CL's to show off that great profile, but I'm sometimes unsure what exactly they are planning on using that great profile to do. They seem to like having huge CL's, and consider that a huge factor in what card to get, and seem sometimes hesitant to get new cards as apposed to getting a CLI on an old one because of the possible drag a new TL can have on their scores. DDFers are just the opposite. They know exactly what they want to do with that great profile, but are a bit unsure how to achieve it. Just IMHO.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Goals vary greatly on CB. Most people want a solid profile so that when the next credit crunch comes, a CLD by a few issuers won't be a big deal. It has happened and will happen. The time to get credit is when you don't need it.

Some are happy with a handful of cards and others have 200+. Some want to maintain high credit score and don't care about rewards and others want to get all they can from their credit.

Of course having high scores and never taking them for a test drive is boring.

If you have super prime scores though, you are only limited by your income.

I must say that DDF is a very friendly forum compared to CB... There have been some mod issues and there are ridiculous threads that come up. Even members that are major contributors don't always get the respect they deserve. TBH, I don't always feel comfortable and a few members get terribly on my nerves. There are definitely more knowledgeable members on CB than me. However, I'm in no way a starter when it comes to credit. I try to contribute any new knowledge when available, but I absolutely hate being bashed. I've learned to stop being so sensitive.

If I even helped one person even in a 10,000 page thread, I feel like I accomplished.

I'm sorry to hear that there are bashers. Please don't take them to heart. (I hope I'm not one of them.)

Nah... You're good , but I was referring to CB not DDF..  ;)

My main issue from almost all my posts is that I'm misunderstood.

 I think I need the grammar police on my case.

I'm sure you noticed that even though I know what I'm talking about most the time, the way I explain things are very odd.

doctor of credit claims that there are reports of 2 hard pulls, one for the savings account and one for the credit card, also that they are hard to deal with.
