Credit Wish List

Happy Friday!

 

I wanted to share my Credit Wish List, and see what yours is like. Currently I'm sort of sitting on the fence, leaning toward gardening but nothing official... Added a bunch of new accounts so AAoA sucks and inquiries are getting up there.

 

Credit Wish List

1. Amex Zync (when it comes back!)

2. Walmart Discover (FICO!)

 

I've already been declined recently by both Amex and WM/GE so I figured I'd grow my babies for a while and app again once my scores are in the mid-high 700's.

 

Currents:

TU FICO 697

AAoA = 0.2 of a year! Smiley Surprised

Re: Credit Wish List

I'm sure you'll get right in with Amex and Wally World once your aaoa climbs. I have both the zync and wal discover and I'm pretty pleased with both of them. Although I thinking about trying to PC the unicorn into a prg.

As far as my wish list goes only one card makes the grade.....Alaska airlines visa from Bank of America... Man do I want that card

Good luck ton your wish list

Re: Credit Wish List

As in my sig:

 

Amex Blue: get in Jan for max backdating (to 1987) to increase my AAoA again

Chase Freedom:  Really not excited about rotating cards, but makes sense to go with my CSP

Sallie Mae: To supplement BCP for groceries once 5x Citi TYP ends.

TD and Wells Fargo:  6 months each of uncapped 5% for manufactured spend.

 

Edit: OK, Freedom isn't in my sig!

Re: Credit Wish List

Here's mine (not in any particular order). I guess it's something to aim for a few months down the road.  Smiley Tongue

 

  • Amex Plat
  • CSP
  • BCE (or BCP but I'd rather get the one without AF since I already have a few cards w/ AF)
  • US Bank Cash+

Lol

That's some list all have a purpose I really like the highlighted one'sSmiley LOL

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?

Re: Credit Wish List

What I'm leaning towards in Dec:

 

Changing my slate into a freedom (if possible)

Adding csp at that point

Any amex (need it for work) bce/p would be nice

Also like to add boa to my portfolio (not sure what card)

Since I was accepted to dcu today I might look at what they have

Lastly been thinking about us bank as they are local

 

Just a couple, my aaoa is going to hate me

Re: Credit Wish List

I have an few in mind that i may want to try and apply for next summer sometime. 

 

1. Cap One Quicksilver- i will take the 1.5%  flat rate on everything.

2. CSP/Amex SPG- still trying to decide which to get leaning toward CSP since i already have an chase freedom card.

3. Barclays Reward- This one isn't as important but I would eventually like to have an cashback mastercard.
