SO!
I want to app to get a card with a good limit...
Right now i am an AU on a card with 1250 limit, and i have my own cap 1 with 500 limit...
All of my scores hover right around 620, except for EX which i am not sure, it was right around 670 when the mortgage went through.....
do not pay attention to my scores below... everything has fluctuated.....
What should i attempt to app for?
Thanks.... love you all!!!
I'd try the AMEX Zync, but personally, I'd wait until your scores in the high 600's.
i have been told the amex sync before.... but i was wondering.. with the mortgage i also have a few inq..... they dont like that do they?
Also... how does an amex work? If you use it does it have to be PIF? orrrrrr......? sorry im new to the amex world.... i have my amex business card so i know they will back date the card..... Business card is over a year old....

Zync is probably the only way to get a non-toy limit with a 647, getting it up a bit higher would help with a NPSL, and/or a high income. Perhaps AP for Walmart and get CLI's every 4 months to help with CL's.
i have a few paid collections... im not sure what bad they are reporting? but amex moved my business credit from 5k limit to NPSL like 6 months back....
AMEX Charge cards, you use the card untill the statement closes, you are then given a please pay by date about 2 weeks after the date the statement cuts. PIF and all is good. If money gets tight you can pay a bit latter but before the next statement cuts. but this should be avoided at all costs untill you have developed a relationship with them. If you haven;t paid by the time the next statement cuts, its then late do it twice and look forward to an FR and other not so fun things happening.
so amex zync is not like that? Amex zync is like a regular CC?

In my opinion, Zync is a good option for you.
Amex is unique in that you can charge a lot, and then you have to pay in full each month. There are no interest charges, and you earn points on your spending.
I also had a number of inquiries when I applied for Amex, (15+ due to mortgage)
In my case, it did not negatively affect my approval for the Zync. My spending power on the Zync is over 6k now, my highest reported balance was about $5785
Especially with your business Amex account, and your prior relationship with Amex, a personal Amex will be a nice addition to your profile
ZYNC, GOLD, PR GOLD, Platinum are all Charge Cards
Zync has an option of giving you a hard limit of $200 (non-autopay) or $500 with auto-pay linked to your checking account. The rest are NPSL always.
