Wait till your score creep up to the mid 6's and you'll have much better success apping than you currently would!

Re: in need of some cards

ok considering you didnt give much information about anything else listed on yr CR your score is needed but CC companies also look at the total pic! So if you have other CL as high as possibly 3500CL then your chances are better most banks base it off the CL you have exsiting on your report! What type of card are you interested in TRavel rewards cashback there so many to choose from! Chase is pretty decent so is Bof America!!! Also Capital one!

I would recommend Hooters Mastercard, you'll probably get $500 limit.

Re: in need of some cards

ok so i apped for 2 cards Juniper Carnival Sea Miles. It says on here they pull TU which is my strongest score. But it said they would have to review it and would let my know in 10 business days. Justice Federal Credit Union Visa Classic. and it says here they pull EQ which is still strong and they said they would let me know in one business day. so what should I do. should I wait on their response or should I call today?

Justice has recently been terribly backed up and slow to approve. You might as well start calling tomorrow morning, if they don't get back to you today.

I think that's the classic message back from Hooters. Might be worth calling them Tuesday or Wednesday to see if they need more info about your address, etc.

Congrats on where you are so far, but I would take a brief break and go visit a local CU next, one that offers credit cards. Almost all of them pull EQ. You can print out your most recent FICOs, scores and reports, and ask a loan officer to look them over and give a best opinion as to whether you would qualify, or if you'd do better to wait 3 months, etc. If you find one that you like, you can then authorize them to do the hard pull.

When people ask about "what else you have on your credit reports," they're asking what problems you have on there that are keeping down your scores, not so much what other credit you currently have.

Re: in need of some cards

ok so i spoke with JFCU and they said i was approved for the 3,000 on the Visa Classic that i applied for. I asked if I can get high CL cause i was being generous and she said I should be eligible for 10,000 and she would send it in for 10,000 and if im not approved for 10,000 i still get the 3,000 i was initially approved for. But, here where it gets crazy. She asked for my eligibility for JFCU and I'm not in any if the things they list. She said i can join NSA (national sheriff's association). The fee to join is only 20 bucks and once I get my confirmation email stating i'm an official member in the next week or so I send that email along with my notarized copy of my driver license JFCU membership form, and last paycheck stub. And when she needed some1 to help answer some of my questions of my 2nd source of income (money from parents for going to college) she said i wouldnt need to show proof of that (i have no way to lol) and that my CL would be 5,000 :] So now im just waiting on this email while I gather this other stuff.
