App for another account before two new accounts report to CRA ?

Bay_Area_Joe · ‎10-05-2012

I got the Discover IT and AMEX green early Jan.

They are going to report Feb 2 and Feb 5.

Should I make another attemp at another prime card(maybe another AMEX) before they report or better to get the 21 backdating AMEX to report ?

I don't need more credit, but unsure how bad two new accounts will hurt me, and will AMEX that is 21 backdating hurt me, as it will be a new account or showing my oldest account ?

any help is appreciated.

thanks

Go for it! There are a bit of members who stated they got multiple AMEX cards when approved and waiting for their AMEX cards.

After that I would garden because you got a nice arsenal of cards!
