No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I am frustrated because all my cards have low limits. I would like higher limits but I guess I need to wait for at least six months in order to get either a CLI or a new card ie freedom…. Or something else like discover… but I hate waiting. My FICO scores are EX: 671 EQ: 657 TU: 643. I guess I have good scores maybe a little low because of higher UTL but still confused because scores went up since bal’s posted on the cards that reported $0 last month and one went from $0 to $357 and score didn’t move… my UTL last month was around 20% this month its around 30%. O I guess try to get it down and then ask for a CLI on 123 card and then get a freedom or discover… is that my best move? But I am going to try to wait until 3/13 to app for new cards if I can.
Be patient. You're doing that thing again where you want to do something "NOW" but really can't.

yes that is true.. i just wish i had better limits before i went on a vacation....
More cards or bigger limits won't really improve the aspect of your credit related to account age.
i guess thats what ill need to wait for so maybe once all my cards hit a year ill be good? and maybe get bigger limits? im still trying to decide if i should just app for freedom or do a PC from slate and then app for CSP....
I would garden for a year with what you have and then try for CLIs/new cards. You should also try to get your Util down before that. If you need a higher CL for a vacation, try calling your favortie card for travel and ask if they could bump you up at all without a hard pull.
the only one i would call would be BoA or Chase. so idk then...
Doesn't CSP start with limits in the $5K range?
Chase won't upgrade my Freedom to their signature version. I'll see what happens in August when it hits a year. If they're not more amenable, it'll sleep with the socks.
Would Cap One let you combine your two accounts into one?
where did you get your scores from?
