How long should I wait to apply for a second credit card? I got my fist credit card 5 months ago it was a discover secured card and credit karma says my score is 679.

Your miles vary. I help a minor apply and get approved 5 CCs over 6-month span, BA cash, Citi DC, Discover, Amazon store/Sync and AmEx BCE, in this order. The BA has a CL of $3k, with AmEx the lowest of $500. Total $8.5K CL. Just wait to watch the CL grow.... He still has a 750 FICO.

 

The best place is where you bank. Both Discover and AmEx welcome new pepple, but they start with very low CLs. Chase wait until people have good credit history.

You might just not be seeing it. I've had the Discover secured card for about 5 months now, and it's always shown me my FICO.
