Re: fico score is 620 looking for a credit card.

If you don't have any other cards, my guess would be $300-$500.  They usually issue these small amounts as part of their "credit steps" program which is supposed to get auto CLI up to a set amount ($750-$1000)?  It's not a lot, but it's definitely a start.

Re: fico score is 620 looking for a credit card.

That depends on your overall history. Lenders take more into consideration than CS. Ie AAOA, INQ'S, cr, income, baddies etc

Re: fico score is 620 looking for a credit card.

For AMEX you have to have 700. I was denied just because having a score of low 600s. Discover denies anything below 650 but may consider if your income is really good and you have no baddies. CHASE may approve if you have a checking accounts with them for long time even if your scores are low.

 

You can apply for Capital One QuickSilver Rewards Master Card. They renewed their old rewards card (the green one) and added .5 % cash back to it. So it will be a good start and you will earn 1.5% cash back on everything.

 

About retail cards: you may try JC Penny, Amazon Store Card, Paypal SmartConnect, Macys etc.

 

Walmart may require higher scores too
