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

Current Score: EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "Who Knows?" Quizzle 756
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+

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 :smileyhappy:

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

BofA visa $9.4k ... BofA Cash Rewards visa sig $10k ... Cap 1 Venture1 visa sig $10k ... Chase Freedom MC $10k ... Macy's $1.5k ... Macy's Amex $5k ... Sam's Club $6k
