Situation

Hubby and I about to apply for mortgage in 2-3 mths. Husband has low scores. Low-Mid 500.  Do you think it would be a good idea to jointly apply for a store card to raise his scores. My scores are 580, 612 and 661. I could use the push as well.  However, I was not sure if this would hurt us because it is new credit.

For an idea of what a new credit card may do to your FICO score, consult my handy slideshow:
