No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
UPDATE!
After reading the forums, I decided to use the SCT to beef up my credit profile. Here's what I have so far:
Express - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $500
HSN - 7-10 day message Approved for $750
Overstock - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250
J Crew - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250
PayPal Credit - Approved for $1750
WayFair - 7- 10 day message
The Limited - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250
Reed Jewelers - 10 day message
FullBeauty - Approved (Don't remember the amount) for $250
I will update with the amounts as a I get them.
Thank you guys for helping me. This site is awesome!
Forgot to add that I sent my dispute letters containing innaccurate items on my credit reports and meeting with a home counselor to get some expert advice on other things I should do. Fingers crossed!

I also see you did too many SCTs, keep like 2 prime cards like 2 SCTs that up will use, payoff and close the rest, use the prime frequently, keep under 30%, next year use prime prequal pages to see if u are credit worthy. But don't open anymore. I started with 3 cards 3 years ago after bk7,you need like a 700 score, will be an uphill climb, best of luck.
All those SCTs gonna kill ur AAoA's. but I guess it's doesn't matter much.
Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think mortgage lenders look at AAoA's.
How much? Percentage?
