The Chase Amazon card is one I wish I didn't apply for back in February. Denied! I wish I'd tried for the store card instead. 
I just wanted to follow up on what decisions I ended up making and the results.
I chose to go to Chase direct first. I was approved for the Freedom card with a $10k limit and 13.99% interest, no interest for the first 15 mo. I got my card in a week. This shockingly was my biggest starting limit and interest rate. I used it to buy the 65 inch samsung 4k ultra that Sams had on special over the weekend
Discover was next. The 5% rewards for home improvement caught my eye. but when I saw double cash back, I was in. We just bought a house July 24 so I knew I would use that A LOT. I was approved for $3,500. I got my card in 4 days. My first statement just cut which I didn't expect. I used this card extensively over the past week and planned to pay that off this week. I went in tonight to add my bank info and saw the statement with a $1,400 balance *sigh*
I went with the Amazon store card. Synchrony backs several stores (including furniture). I wanted my foot in the door to establish payment history in the event I ever have to apply and/or recon. I have been a prime member for 3 years so that 5% was just an added bonus. $2,700 starting limit. I just got the "card" on Saturday. I haven't reconned it but plan to tomorrow. My biggest shock here was that they reported the new account to fico 3 days after applying!
I also will be calling NFCU tomorrow before I close out my spree. We are more interested in the line of credit than credit card but I most likely will apply for both.
I decided not to apply for AmEx right now. I will apply after I garden for a year, build up some history and credit limits and also give my mortgage loan time to report. I hope for better limits after all that is accomplished. If app withdrawals are too bad, I can always apply for the DH lol
Although I have been strongly against using credit for many years, my lack of true knowledge was my worst enemy. Understanding the rewards benefits, how to pif, when to pay and not to pay etc has totally changed my thoughts on using credit. This site is invaluable to me. I went from sub 600 scores to buying a house and getting prime cards! in 8 months! I spent more hours than I care to think about reading on this site but it was all worth it!!! My goal is to break 800 by Jan 1, 2017 but it make take til 2020 to do it lol
