should i apply

just curious if i should apply for my credit unions visa card?  i became a member about 3 wks ago...deposited 2k...they did a soft pull and my score came around 718?!  im starting to get my credit unions credit card app in mail

 

i have just activated my wells fargo card 2 wks ago with a limit of 5k and i also have a best buy store card of 2600....total utilization of both cards is around 7%

 

my rate on the credit union card is sickkk...2.9 to start then the max rate is 8.7...(thats what they say...max rate)  my wells fargo is 0% for 9 months....then jumps to 18%....of course id rather take 2.9 now and jump to 8.7 then free money for 9 months with a jump to 18%

 

i would be suprised if i was denied my credit unions card, but if i was to apply and get denied....would my credit limit get decreased?  interest rate get increased?  because of the pull??    should i apply???  i dont need the card but it would be cool to have established history with another line???

Re: should i apply

with your credit scores, you shouldn't have a problem with getting a visa credit card with your credit union.
