Gonna APP Today! Need some advice Thanks!

I will be applying for two cards today!

 

I am looking for the following as far as criteria is concerned:

0 APR the longer the better 15 months or more...

Making big purchase of 12K and would like to put most on the new cards and some on some other cards and they pay 500-700 spread out over the cards..

No annual Fee

Besides the purchase I would like to use the cards later on for....gas, bills, dining, online shopping etc...usual stuff...do not travel heavy (now perhaps)

Credit score roughly 750 and up on all

AAOA 4.5 years

Length of credit 7 years

Closed old accounts and currently have Discover IT at 13K and Amex BCE at 13K for about 7 months along with Amex Business at 14K (doesnt show on personal)

 

What would be some good cards?

 

How is citi simplicity or diamond preffered they have the longest 0 apr at 18months

Also what type of limits would I expect....

 

This is very important I hope you all contribute thanks as I will app today...

Those two are great cards. I would expect 10-20k On citi DP. Otherwise chase has great offerings but limits may not be what you want. Another option is amex. They have several with low intro periods and give awesome limits

Since you've said you'd like to use the card after the initial purchase is paid off for regular expenses, be aware none of these cards earn rewards.

Cards like these become fairly useless after the initial intro Apr wears off,so be prepared to PC or app for a new card if you want rewards after this.

CC1 - why wouldn't you go to the Citi website and see if you are pre-qualified for the card?  If you are you'll see the firm offer and APR you'll get at 0% intro.  It might help in your decision making process.  I know it did for me.  Good luck!

No the limit doesn't show... that would be great huh?   Good luck - no harm in doing pre-qual though.

Re: Gonna APP Today! Need some advice Thanks!

You said firm offer...that's why I was confused I have never seen a limit shown before going through with a full application...as far as yes or no I'm sure hopefully they should approv me although I do see one charge off with them my annual credit report 5 years ago but it was for 200 bucks and that's when my credit was bad...

What do you think if add a citi simplicity for the 18 months 0 and app for a chase freedom for my large purchase???

Or do you think I can add another Amex revolver??? They may give me a nice high limit since I have bce with them at over 10k and a Amex biz card at over 10k...I know from reading that they allow up to 4 personal lines...but my line is only 6 months old with them how much will they give lol thanks
