Re: Going on an "app spree" questions

I just like the idea of rapid-fire app'ing. Might give it a shot after I've got calluses from six months minimum of gardening.

So applying for both the Citi Dividen for students and Forward for students is probably a bad idea?


Not at all but both will most likey pull EX


Will student loans be enough to suffice as credit or will Citi require me to have revolving credit?

If you're going for one of their student cards it should suffice with enough history!

Both will require some type of history

Check your other thread ..

Everyone gave you valuable info..Its going to be hard going at it without secured or AU's YMMV

 

Some have been lucky but its rare to get approvals for unsecured CC right out the gate other than CAP1 who pulls all 3 CB's and its still a long shot..

Sorry just being honest 

I would rather you take the safe route then have to live with bad decisions from a lot of HP's for the next 2 years

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

OP, check out this link I made. This will help you decide on apping.

 

I highly recommend you go for the Citi Forward, preferably with at least 6 months of student loan history to generate a FICO. Only Cap One Journey is the only card I know of that has the highest success rate as a student card, even with no history. Citi is known to be more picky, so at least have a FICO to back yourself up!

 

All the best Smiley Happy

Sorry I've been making several threads as of late because some specifics weren't answered.

 

Thanks for the information.
