Re: Almost there...

What was your score

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Almost there...

I think you need at least 720. 641 is borderline approval for their charge card.

when you have 246 open accounts and an AAoA of .25 months, your score is going to take a hit like that for a little while longer.
