Re: weighing options on a new and card

Discover and Barclay rewards IMHO

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Try to EO or FB msg them and see if you can PC the Rewards card to QS + CLI.  If you are granted of PC + CLI, then I would close the Secured and get your money back.  If you've gardened for the past two years, then i'm sure you'll have some HPs that you can burn...seems like your TU score may be on the borderline for Discover but i think you'll be okay. 

 

Try the pre-qual sites and see if you get any matches based on your profile for other cards.

Re: weighing options on a new and card

I also suggest trying the "prequalify" sites to see if you have any current offers. Keep in mind, it's not guaranteed that you'll get accepted if you prequalify but if they sent you mailers recently and your score has not changed much since then, you may have a decent chance. 

 

I have also been building up my credit for a few years and was accepted for a Barclaycard Rewards (Average) with a $1500 CL after having one Capital One card and 3 retail cards--all with low limits. You might try their prequalify link if that is a card you're interested in. My Transunion score was 648 at the time of approval.

 

Good luck!!
