No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Hi everyone, I got bored since last app in Feb.. Currently I have a Discover it for student (Auto CLI from 500 to 650 several days ago) and a Chase freedom w/ 1000 CL. I got the Discover it card in last December. Currently the AAoA is only 0yr3mo but I only have 2% util and PIF every time, no baddies.
I am a full college student turning 20 in less than a month, income 40k. Travel 2 - 3 times each year and fly internationally to Asia at least once a year.
I have been eyeing on Amex for a long time and wanna take advantage of the 50k PRG offer right now..
Or should I go for BCE or delta gold? I mean I can wait for another 2 month for Discover to Age to 6 month. 715 on CK
All advice are appreciated and welcomed!
Thank you!
My shopping list for CCs for next 2 years :
Chase: CSP (50k+5K) , UA (50k) , Marriott, Ritz Carlton (140K), IHG (80K) ---- will most likely close unnecessary cards like Ritz and churn. WIll keep those w/ annual free night.
Amex: BCE, PRG (50K), SPG (30K)
CITI: Prestige (50K+350AF), AAvantage
Thank you for your input! I wanna get 140k points and redeeem for a Biz Class ticket, 13 hours on a flight is torture. I am not sure about BCE, or I am probably talking about AmEx Everyday instead lol
I dont have any prequalified offer from AmEx. I opted in like one month ago and literally have never received any offer in the mail. I also checked cardmatch websites but only see some $hitty CCs from First Permier bank..
The PRG 50k offer has been around for a long time (I got mine December 2013), I wouldn't worry about that going away.

As a frequent traveler. 10 Personal vacations last year. 9 weeks in Asia etc. I think I would go with the PRG card. I know the annual fee is high, but the new changes coming to the card next month is trying to give CSP card a run for its money. There is a reason that they call delta frequent flyer points Sky Pesos. The membership rewards points can transfer to Singapore Airlines in the Star Alliance, British Airways in One World Alliance. And if you must even you can even transfer to Delta. You have so much more flexiability with the PRG card. Plus
Myself I carry both the PRG and Plat card but I live near an airport with a centurion lounge. Plus you get 3x points with airlines on any airline purchase. And you get 2x at grocery stores and gas stations. You earn points faster. Lastly you can get 100 credit back on airline purchases. Like bagage fees that offsets the AF a bit.

Yeah that offer has been around for quite a while.. dont know if 5 month history is enough for a charge card tho..
IMO your credit is too new for you to be able to get a lot of those cards, especially the Ritz. I would wait at least 6 more months before apping for anything so that you don't waste inquiries.

Thank you for your input! Yeah the upcoming changes in terms and conditions for PRG is quite alluring, cancelling FTF and providing 100 airline credit. I will definitely get it. And I will also need a CSP or marriott just in case where Amex is not accepted. Also I have a discover it which has a parterner relationship with UnionPay (the largest payment and liquidation company in China), I can literally use it anywhere in China w/o FTF or CDC.
Just not sure my chances of getting approved for a PRG w/ such a short yet solid history.

Yeah definitely. The list is my goal for next 2 years. Recently i am just looking forward to getting PRG/Everyday/BCP.
Thank you for your input!
