App. Spree Advice PLS.

I am planing to have an app Spree on Auguest 1st. 

 

My fico scores are as follow :

Experian : 734

Equifax : 745

Transunion : 756

 

No enquireis on EX or TU

1 enquirey on Equifax for ATT uverse ( service enquiry )

 

I have 1 baddie on Experian unpaid  judgment from 2008 due to drop on june 2016

 

I have 2 secured card : 

Applied bank since 09/2012 Limit : $5000 , Balance : $200

Cap 1 secured since 03/2013 Limit :$3000 , Balance :$109

 

Am looking for Capital one venture , Discover , Barclays ,  Amazon Store Card , Macys, and Belk.

 

Out of the previoues I have burned Discover on 2006 others I have no relation with .

 

I want Chase , AMEX, and Citi but they say they never forgive and I burn them in the past so why waste enquiries.

 

What the order I should apply ?

DO i have to apply all in one day ?

For store cards do I apply in person or online ?

 

Thanks allot for all the expected help :-).

Re: App. Spree Advice PLS.

i dont know about how they consider with that baddie in EX.

 

My choice of order would be

1)Barclays

2)Discover

3)Macys

4)Capital One (Keep it last, as they dont bother about multiple inqs or accounts). Sure for 3 hps across bureaus.

5)Belk - i dont know about this requirement.

 

Dont you think of BOFA? They are also TU based for new a/c.

Good luck.

Personally, I'm NOT a fan of BOA. If you are a member of a credit union or USAA , I would opt for 1 of their cards.

Which, depending on your spend, can be a relatively weak card. If your gas spend is very high, it can be good, but otherwise, you can get 2% on everything with a Double Cash or even 1.5% with a Quicksilver.

 

It's one of those cards that needs to be updated or made more competitive, IMO

Eh I find BOA a better bank overall with limits and approvals...at least for me. Citi has been stingy on their limits. Took me another HP to get my double cash from $2,500 to $3,700 when I got accepted 

 

OP also said he burned citi so there is that

I agree with the cards in that order. As for BOA, the pulled EX for me on new accounts, and then they pull TU for CLIs

BoA is good for CLIs and APR reductions but don't expect great rewards out of them
