I'd likely close the FP card (high AF / monthly fees) and no real upside for you.

 

I'd keep the Orchard as a national bank card until you replace it with something else in the future.  Cap One and Orchard are your only two non-store cards, and from an underwriting perspective some lenders will discount store tradelines.

Hey guys i am in the process of rebuilding my credit, I am currently in the low 600s and i just recently got approved for 2 cars from bmw financial, one of the loans is at 3.9% and the other loan is at 9%. So today i went a little crazy and decided to apply for some store cards and got approved for the following:

 

Amazon - $600

Wal-Mart - $600

Chevron - $400

Victoria Secret - $350

Bloomingdales - $300

 

Total - $2250

 

but i did get denied for the following:

 

Old Navy

Macys

Neiman Marcus

Nordstrom

Target

 

So that was a total of 10 inquiries, i know its bad but i hope after awhile it will help me out.

 

My cards that i currently own are as follows:

 

Capital one platnium - $500

Orchard Bank - $400

1st Premier - $300

 

How do you guys think its going so far besides the big slurge i did today?


I would be curious to know why the others denied you. 

 

I would be willing to bet Macy's will approve you once they see how you do with the Bloomie's card.  Since they're the same company and their credit is administered by the same company.
