Next steps?

Should I focus on paying down my car loan and or student loans? My monthly ultization is less than 5% on my credit cards but I am not seeing  increases in my scores. I am about 7 months post bk7 but my highest score is around 650(eq) and my lowest is around 630(ex). I am coming from low 500s. I have weekly travel coming up for the next 3 years or so, so I would really like to have an airline or points credit card that I can take advantage of. Am I being to impatient? I have 4 credit cards now (jcrew, 2 capitol one, and a secured discover), but, was denied Navy (secured card closed when I filed) and have iib amex and barclay (denied card w/o hard pull citing previous relationship). Any suggestions on next step or bk friendly travel credit card - actual points that convert to airline miles or an airline credit card. Thanks.

Replied to your other thread, but the short answer is yes, you are being too impatient Smiley Happy

 

Focusing on heading towards a debt free life is of course a good idea, though!

Just remember, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You have 4 cards, so your good for now. Just continue to let positive history report, the rest will come in time.

Also, I would start on the SL.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Just wishing I should have filed earlier.
