Re: I need help to apply for cards!

I have perfect on time payments and score is not high due to high utilzation .AAOA is about 2 years.

Re: I need help to apply for cards!

I would say pick only 1 or 2 cards for this year and garden til next year. Get those scores up and your util down

Good luck

Re: I need help to apply for cards!

Google "Credit Pulls Database" and you'll find a wealth of info on who pulls what. Just remember, with bigger banks and issuers, YMMV. Here are a few of my experiences:

AmEx - solid EX puller

Chase - luck of the draw. Southwest card was TU/EQ and CSP was TU/EX I think

BofA - TU for Alaska Air card

Citi - EX for AA card

PenFed - EQ
NFCU - TU for membership, EQ for Cash Rewards, TU for goRewards

US Bank - I don't have their card, but they said it's random, and they can't override (take that with a grain of salt though)

Barclaycard - generally solid TU

Synchrony - generally solid TU

Discover - TU

 

Again, some are more predictable than others. You might want to wait until you're below 30% util before apping though - you'll have better chances for approval, and also for better limits/interest rates.

 

Good luck!

Re: I need help to apply for cards!

If I'm reading your balance owed correctly -- $21,840? -- I suggest going into the garden until your utilization across the board is substantially lower, which in turn will increase your scores and AAOA. Then, I believe your chances for getting the cards you want, and with decent SL, is doable. Good Luck.

I think if your goal is to pay off the cards, and lower the interest on your balances, you might have better luck with a credit union and a bill consolidation loan. Do you belong to any right now? If you explain to them what your goals are, I think you'll have a better chance than getting another card.

 

Honestly, I'm afraid your chances for cards are on the low side w/ high util and scores in the 600s. Even with an approval, it'll likely be a limit that's too small to do a BT on.

 

I searched CreditPulls w/ 650 score, and most approvals there were in the 500-1500 range. A couple of anomolies were NuVision FCU (which anyone can join I think), and Navy Federal.
