Approval Suggestions

After checking my three fico scores, I am sitting at Equifax 640, Experian 641 and Transunion 688. Any recommendations for what card to apply for? I want to app for someone that will pull transunion. I did open a barclay apple card about 3 months ago, not sure if that is too soon to app again for something else?

IMHO 

Garden the cards you have another 6 months and continue to let your scores climb

3 baddies and 8 INQ's in the last year needs time to adjust 

Discover may approve you now but would be high APR and a very small limit 

Walmart may approve now and is a TU puller along with a free Fico monthly 

But with a little more time I think you can get Discover or Freedom

Re: Approval Suggestions

Thanks! I am going to garden because Discover is the card I want. I applied back in March and was declined.

Probably a good move Discover is known to pull EQ mostly but have also pulled TU depending on region
