I've been trying to get a Discover It Card for a while and last time it said to try with a co applicant or something like that so i think my odds are improving i hope! I don't want to go overboard on applying for credit so i should and probably stop for a while. I was wondering if I get approved for credit cards and store cards i have applied for will it remove the inquiries if i am approved?

EQUI 659, TRANS 660, EXP 666 these are my Scores as of 9/19/2016!

The only thing that removes inquiries is time. They have no impact after one year and disappear after two years.

How soon should you try a GW letter? How soon is too soon?

I settled 2 CC's after 150 days late, with one of them charging off. It's been 1 year for one, and 15 months for the other.

Thanks.

Yesterday Lol

Seriously start GW's and good luck

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?
