Looking for card to replace FP

I've had this card long enough.  Almost $200 in fees just to PAY THE BILL!!

 

I don't want to lose the CL tho, is there any average credit CC's out that would be a good replacement? Maybe one that could grow? I would love to wait til next year but I can't see myself paying them $11.00 to make a payment much longer.

Re: Looking for card to replace FP

I would wait until your scores are over 660 and then apply for a cap1 maybe. Orchard is also a little more friendly when it comes to fees. I have a fp too and I'm planning to get rid of it, but I won't until I have overall CL of around 5-7k. I was just recently approved for Barclays and Amex ZYNC, so I'm almost there.

Your scores should be fine for both Capone and Orchard.  Both are improvements over what you have, by a lot.

I would try for one of the Cap One rewards or even a Discover More.

 

Since you want to maintain the CL, the Zync would be out of the question since its a charge card with NPSL.

Re: Looking for card to replace FP

WAIT WAIT WAIT... With scores between 640-660 I would apply for American Express Zync, Barclay anything and call back door if declined or low limit given, skip Household!!!

MAYBE Cap1 if you do the pre-approval and they offer something, I would not cold apply...

 

But really if you can waste 2 inq I would do Amex and Barclay first.

 

Maybe a Citi card too and as another poster mentioned been seeing some lean in Discover lately in the mid 600's.
