Which card should I apply for?

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Oct 2013 16:25:16 GMT

I recently just applied for an auto loan, and would also like to apply for a new credit card so I can get my apps all within the 2 week period. Any recommendations? my scores are EX 672 EQ 650 and TU 691.

Auto and Credit INQ's won't be combined if that's what your thinking....

With that said it's probably still good timing to apply anyway.

Do you have any current credit accounts? limits?

have you checked any of the pre-qual. available on each site like citicards, capital one, chase, barclay?

We need to know what types of card you are interested in (cash back, 0% APR for balance transfer, travel rewards, big signup bonus, etc). If Cash back interests you, then you would set your sights on the cards in my signature

Once you know what you want, then we can determine whether you should apply now, or wait for your scores to improve first.

Thanks. I do what I can.

Its too bad I have to toss the American Express into the sock drawer though. Just not enough cash back potential.

Fair enough, the other cards all win somewhere. I have to say it looks cool though.

I went with the sallie mae cash back card. 5% on groceries and gas is hard to pass up.
