an app spree is when you go crazy (figuratively, not real crazy) and apply for many cards within a very short period of time, usually same day, or within few days, so that each of the banks you apply with do not know that you are applying for other cards with other banks at the same time since CRAs take a while to update.
Scores are dependent upon what cards you are trying to apply. Other factors such as income play a big role as well.
There's no real definite choice of must-have cards. It depends on what you mostly spend on or what you need out of your credit card.
Do you travel a lot? Do you want free extended warranty on your purchases? Do you want cashback, or points, or travel miles? Do you want fast and easy CLI down the road? It depends on what you're trying to do
If you can tell us more I am sure a lot of people will be able to recommend you some cards to get.
What is your approx. score and credit report like?
This is incorrect. The minute you apply for a new card a HP is placed on your credt. If the next card you app for and so on pull the same bureau report they will see the new INQ.

This is true. Inqs are recorded in real time with the CRAs, so as soon as you apply the inq will show up on your report.

I started out by applying for Capital One crads since they 're the easiest to get approved for. FYI... Do some homework by googleing "credit cards based on my fico score of ###" It should take you to several sites that have gather a lot of customer inputs when they applied for credit, their scores at that time, and if they got approved or not. By going over that site a couple of times, it has helped me to apply and get approved instantly. Good Luck!!!! By the way... cart tricks can assist you in the meantime to obtain fast store cards without a HP. one of them is Victoria Secret.
Starting Score:EX-639, TU-632 641-EQ(MyFico)

This is where you put an item in the cart on an online site and proceed to checkout and right before you pay if your eligible they will offer you a CC.
Its a SP on your file.
Comenity Bank is the issuer and if you look them up on here you'll find the many stores they deal with.
Thanks, is there any way you can know what card pulls from what CRa's that way if you are applying or doing an app spree it will be with different banks pulling from different CRA's
