Re: no frills card

Another vote for either the Ring card or a CU card, I'd go with a CU card.

+1 on the local credit union suggestion. They will usually give you the best high-limit/low interest combo possible unless you are fortunate enough to be eligible for NFCU Smiley Happy

In my wallet: Apple $5,000, local CU $15,000, Bread AMEX $5,000. In my sock drawer: A few other cards Smiley Happy

Current scores (EQ, EX, TU): 787, 788, 796

No frills card - Easy, plenty around almost all lenders have one.  The 3-4 K is the tricky part.  This usually (with few exceptions) require a CS over 700. Good luck.

Re: no frills card

thank you for your responses. I will go with ring if anyone cares. obviously eq score is my lowest. I have a apple card. called barclay's and they said after apple hits 6 months (next month) getting 3-4 won't be a problem. she said worst case i could transfer some of my apple line.

+10 - count me as one who is not interested in rewards cards and their higher APR's, plain jane works for me.
