What is excellent?

I was looking at the myfico recommended credit cards. When it says credit must be excellent, what scores are considered excellent???

Starting score (9-29-12)= myfico EQ-562, myfico TU-551, Exp.plus-550
Current score= EQ-732, TU-760, Exp-686
Goal score=775 across the board Smiley Happy

You should try a GE backed card.  Do you shop at Walmart?  They also five a TU FICO monthly if you sign up for paperless billing.

Starting Score: 504
July 2013 score:
EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge

Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!

June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

Re: What is excellent?

I'm scared to apply. I only have one inquiry on all 3 reports and its from 3-2011 when I bought my car. I don't want any inquiries. I'm obsessed with these stupid reports. I've spent so much money just buying reports because I'm so impatient. LOL  I have a couple of things that are waiting to be updated on EQ and TU. I think it will push both scores to 700 or close.  I travel 50 miles one way to work everyday so I spend ALOT on gas. I was thinking maybe a card with gas rewards.

Starting score (9-29-12)= myfico EQ-562, myfico TU-551, Exp.plus-550
Current score= EQ-732, TU-760, Exp-686
Goal score=775 across the board Smiley Happy

iirc, scores are rated as excellent if they're over 760 (if you look at your myFICO score, there's usually a section that 'grades' your score as poor, good, excellent, etc)

 

edited to correct myFICO score instead of credt report
