Thanks to the knowledge from reading on here I went a bit of app shopping, and I was blown away! I now have these new babies for my wallet 
400 Best Buy credit card
600 Wal-mart credit card
150 JC Penney charge card
I still have Hooters pending and I did apply for the Orchard selector, showed preapproval on the platinum card but I have the secured so I was denied with the "We have already approved you for a HSBC card", I wish I could get it unsecured so I could get my money back on the secured but its kool. I made sure I pulled from EQ/TU checkers and now I am very happy, 3 years since I have gotten a real card without my own money to secure the tl
congrats!!
Starting Score: 665

Thank you thank you, do you think I have a good mix now and should leave as is? Only other card I would like is Target
Orchard 1200
Cont Finance 375
New*****
Hooters - ? 7-10
Best Buy 400
Wal Mart 600
JC Penny 150
Anybody know if it is even possible on the orchard, try to accept the unsecured offer and replace it with the secured or since it was declined to just leave it? I know I hit up HSBC side, got preapproval for platinum card also, declined for same reason and on that CSR said I have to wait 18 months for a 2nd card, Orchard open in 12/08.
Congratulations on the approvals and new trade lines! With time and a clean payment history, those credit lines should increase and grow with you.
Thats great to hear Bakalao2k, I love Best Buy! I went for one more, Old Navy, approved for 150. Small limits on them but I am very happy, these boards are a godsend in the credit business advice. I can't thank enough so thanks again
