You need to save money for Christmas, not get more credit for Christmas.

What are the balances and credit limits on your cards?

I wouldn't give advice on how to handle finances when we don't know anything about the OP other than a credit score and a list of cards. We have no idea what happened to put the poster into that situation, so let's refrain from judgment and answer the question that was asked.

I'm thinking the natural first choice would be Walmart. Also, Kohl's is said to be easy to get. Maybe Old Navy (but that's GE, as so is Walmart.) Hmm... J.C.Penney? Jewelry store cards... some of the other department stores like maybe Bloomingdales. I'm not sure if Target is easy to get or not. That's all I can think of!

JCP is also GECRB.

Target AFAIK is easy to get but does not grow at all, and Kohl's I believe is a cap1 card so it too will probably not grow.

I'd go with Amazon...6 months free financing...by the second statement, tax refunds should have been depositied, and you can pay it off...interest free, and they seem pretty liberal with their starting limits...

Amazon is also a GE card, unless you were talking about Chase amazon visa, which I'm not so sure about with that score.

I didn't see where he said GE cards...weren't an option. Why aren't they an option again?

Well, I think you may fall in your old habits.....what's wrong with your capital one cards?

Also, you do know shopping at Fingerfut is like shopping at Aaron's or Rent A Center...everything is overpriced...

I'm sure he knows that, sometimes you have to take what your credit profile allows you to get.

This OP declared BK not too long ago based on his other posts in the BK forum.

OP; I advise you to pay cash for Christmas and continue to garden!

+1. OP's BK was discharged last month. I'd focus on gardening and in a couple of years with some distance on that BK, I have no doubt OP can get high limits with BK-friendly CCs.

After reading the auto loan thread from OP if everything he listed in that thread was IIB your better off leaving credit alone, sorry to say. That is a crazy amount of debt!

Re: Need Christmas Credit Card

jsucool76 — Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:15:30 GMT

Yeah after reading some of your other posts I'm going to say don't app for cards just for christmas shopping. Try layaway at a store or something, it's a much better option than putting it on CCs.

+100000, thats the best advice honestly. you've burnt every major lender out there for crazy amounts of money so they are not going to forget anytime soon. i would def follow a cash only lifestyle for a WHILE.

I thought I saw your income was over 400k on a previous post.. How many people are you buying Christmas gifts for that you need more credit after BK last month?
