Should I apply for Amazon too??

Last week got:

Apple $1300

PayPal MC $2k

Walmart $800

 

In this order... Does Amazon pull TU also? (California)

I shop almost exclusively at Ebay and Amazon... but at same time don't usually buy large things, usually smallish to get free shipping so not sure it's a worthwhile account currently with no rewards other than 0% stuff... but wondering if better to establish now so I hopefully have a nice CL if I do come to want something big.

Re: Should I apply for Amazon too??

I got an Amazon store card (GEMB) last August for $2400 limit.  I shop a lot on Amazon and I like the 0% deals they give with min purchase.  I've never had a problem with either Amazon or GEMB.  If approved, the store card is ready to go immediately and set as the default card on your account.  They make it TOO easy to spend money..lol!!I l

I live in CA and they pulled TU for me.

I think GEMB pulls exclusively TU.

 

Since you just got the Barclay's Apple, I'd hold off on any new CCs for 6 months. There have been so many stories here of people getting AA from them when they have too much new credit after getting Barclay's. Of course, it doesn't happen to everyone, but still, I wouldn't want to risk it if it were me.

 

I've gotten almost the exact same thing in the last few weeks:

Apple $2200

NFCU $2000

Walmart $300

 

As much as I have the itch to app again, I'm stopping for 6 months and am going to work on CLIs. Then hoping for USAA and Amex in the summer. Smiley Happy

I'd hold off for six months.  Open to many accounts and your going to get AA from Barclay's.

Isn't Citi Forward better than the Amazon card?

Yes I would say Citi Forward is 100x better then an Amazon!

 

Amazon is a store card by GE and Visa by Chase... I don't like Chase and I would not be approved.

 

Citi is a MasterCard!

 

Nothing to do with each other
