My first thought was hold of for a bit and see what happens with these two first. Going by most of what I've seen and read here, if you do get these other 2 cards let them grow a bit for several months before applying for anymore. Apparently some will reject you for too many inquiries. So don't use them up unless absolutely needed. You only want but so many on your report at 1 time. Takes 12 months for those to come off. Hope I helped in some way.

I got approved from CAP1 instantly, US Bank says processing &amp; BoA website says my info doesn't match up with what they have on file, as far as email address, yet that's the only one I use for bills/business...Kanye shrug. Funny thing is I have 4 years banking with BoA both Checking &amp; Savings, all positive!. Yet I wondering should I not apply for anything else right now? I don't want too many hard pulls but then I also don't want 4 cards if I keep applying and finally hear back from BoA &amp; US Bank, after the fact. Any suggestions?<BR />Thanks In Advance</P> Tue, 22 Jan 2013 00:07:01 GMT https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/The-Waiting-Game/m-p/1825537#M231701 Anonymous 2013-01-22T00:07:01Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/The-Waiting-Game/m-p/1828255#M232011 I'd say it depends on how many cards you have currently.
