Application timing

I thought I would get your opinion. I literally just dropped under 5/24 within the last week and I'm looking to get one of the Freedom cards. How long do you think I should wait Before applying? Thanks in advance

Yesterday? .. Seriously if you are under 5/24  ...it is a card you can utilize and everything else is in check,

I would bite the bullet and apply. JMO

 

Good Luck!

Re: Application timing

I would not apply now. The economy is in such a bad shape. I am not sure how tight the lender policies are.

I'd wait until 5/24 confirms on your credit report.

Re: Application timing

Youre GTG anytime

Personally, I would wait til Monday as it will be the 1st of the month and maybe you'll see a score jump

Not necessary.  Chase calculates the number of accounts that fall within their 4/24 ceiling.  There is nothing for the CBs to update
