Re: App Spree!!! maybe...

Yes! You are right 100 percent! I had lates since my BK and collections. However I did credit repair, all collections from Experian are off and my utilization is at 5 percent, which is why I'm thinking of applying for one or both. This month utilization will be at 3 percent. So I'm thinking of going for it and see what happens. Credit repair really helped  and I haven't applied for any cards since besides the navy fed. Which there is still 3 collections on TransUnion which I'm still working on,  so maybe that's why they only gave me 1k but there are no collections on my Experian, and I know Amex pulls Experian, same with discover.

Amex can pull more than 1 report. They pulled EX and TU for me.

If you're going to apply, apply for whichever you want the most first. Does the Amex or Discover fit your spending habits better? Do you prefer a rewards structure or cash back?

 

Personally, I'd recommended waiting for the 2nd Navy card.

Many many dps suggest that 2nd navy card is the best option, wait the 91/3 and you will have a great chance at an awesome card with a real limit, also as a bonus if you do app discover only report income that matches your tax return due to the numerous 4506 t requests, and some users experience suggest discover will be more willing to extend a better limit 

With a higher limit card on your profile they do not like to be the first to extend higher limits.

 

If it were me I would get all my navy cards out of the way first, your profile will look much better to discover amex Citi and others with that second navy card on there
