Re: Should I app for Amazon?

Its pretty easy to get.  No idea with your limited history if it is easy enough.  I think your chances are good enough to apply and you need the trade lines.  GE trade lines are good for building credit.

Thanks for the input. I was thinking about apping for the amazon and Walmart around the same time so I guess that's what I'll do.

App for Walmart in store. Anecdotal evidence says higher approvals in store.

Re: Should I app for Amazon?

I have an 87 cent balance on my walmart card, and they want it paid by July or Aug 20th.

 

When I tried to pay it, says it has to be at least $1.

 

:smileyvery-happy:

 

Oh, the people of walmart

 

That aside.  App both amazon and walmart store card.  Over your comptuter is easiest.

Go to walmart and pay at the register, you can overpay there since there register does not know how much you owe
