The minimum of 1500 is an unusable 1500 credit limit, which would put you close to maxing out when you complete minimum spend. My friend said you could keep the CD open, close the card, and re open another one and use the existing CD.
Do you / did you churn this card?

Did they explain why they kept denying you? Too many recent accounts?

You have 6 hard pulls sitting on your credit report from this card alone? What bureau(s) did they pull? I can't believe you kept going after 6 rejections in a year. Do you need the 30K points for a big, aspirational redemption? Not being facetious, I am genuinely curious.
