App spree

After my Credit One hit 6 months period, im going to apps for maybe 2 credit card. i already paid all my balance on my card under 10 bucks........and utility down under 9%. My score should increase somewhere around 670 or 680..........Credit file is on my Signature......Here's my list

  1. Discover More
  2. US Banks
  3. City Banks
  4. Amex
  5. GE

So what do you guys think ?? The best 2 cards there.......Im planning on the long run and maybe going to closed my newest credit one card till its hit 1 years anns......And maybe Orchard Bank next year.....So if i add 2 more ccards right now and stick with it then its not going to hurt my AAOA that much........I need some advice......thanks guys.....My AAoa about 3.2 years and i had 8 TL......

If you can try to get an Amex right now for back dating purposes since they're the only ones to do it. Also Chase Freedom beats out Discover more cause you need to spend over $3000 a year to start getting 5% I believe. Personally my lists would go

 

1. Amex

2. GE cards cause they offer GENEROUS CLI's and a Walmart card would give you access to a TU08 Fico score.

3. US Bank Cash+ if you can get it , or a Chase Freedom card

4. Citi Forward for restaurants at 5%

5. Discover more

Re: App spree

The reason I list those card not because its the one I want the most but the one I know i had imore change they would approved me ........I love Amex but I hate the way they do with their annual fees and plus I don't need a charge card.....I rather wait another 1 or 2 years then apps for their prime cards.........I'm only ant about two cards right now and choose the one that really grow with me......
