Not sure yet, but will be in the summer when I apply and will be for a Prime card, my first. I currently have:
Premier 10months old
Cap 1 9 months old
Cap 1 8 months old
CreditOne 9months old
HSBC Visa Gold 7months old
Auto loan: 7months old
Inquiries
TU 7
EQ 23
EX 14
A few Collections have now been paid off and deleted, just have 2 left that wont budge but getting older. Plus my score did a bounce around with all these new accounts so I need to let everything age.
Trying to be patient but not easy!
I have all of the Cash Back/Points cards I want... Chase Freedom, Chase Sapphire, Discover, Amex BCP, Costco Amex, BofA Cash Rewards... so I want to add another airline card (United, Continental, or Delta) and a hotel rewards card (probably Starwoods Preferred Amex) since I plan on traveling more in the future.
Chase Freedom.
When? Late 2012/early 2013.
Thats all. I have no need for more than that.
Keep it simple stupid and all that jazz.

Well I should receive my Discover More on New Years Eve, so can we count that towards 2012? If so I would be 1 for 1 on cards wanted. I would like to get a CLI on my Amex Delta Platinum card. Chase Sapphire Preferred, probably late 2012 I would also like to get rid of my Crapital One card, unless they waive my AF.
Nope...because you still received it in 2011...

So what say you?
I won't be apping until this time next year so that there's a full year of recent history. There's already some old history (excellent history) that's on my CRs from back in the day. The first REAL credit card I want is the Amex BCP so that I can get further backdating for MORE good AAofA.
Hopefully, my VISA with US Bank will graduate from secured to unsecured. If not, then I'll be looking for a good VISA.
Not sure which Mastercard to app for but, I certainly want something to replace the current Capital One Mastercard. I'd like for Chase to approve me for something since I've banked with them for several decades but, I know that they will probably insist on another year of history with the recent cards (the secured cards), since they are so fussy about having lots and lots of history.
And, I want a Discover card.
I won't check the mail until Sunday :-)

in mid to late Feb, Amex Zync (currently pre-appoved) or BCE if i'm pre-approved need to get some AAoA love currently waiting for my AMEx blue to age to 3 months
and mid 2012 Sam's Club shop there quite frequently and its reported to have good CL's
perhaps a Visa prime card if i get pre-approved and no AF
don't have any Visa credit cards, my only visa is a debit card
perhaps Bill Me Later to buy a new HP Server since it doesn't report not really a negative besides a possible INQ but it may only be a Soft since i allready have a tiger direct account.
