Re: Barclaycard Rewards

That depends on many factors . On the surface though, it appears you're good to go. Allow those accounts to age for a year or two and take care of them.  In other words, start Gardening. 

NFCU Visa 43k | NFCU Platinum 37k | Cap1 QS 13K | Cap1 QS 12.5K | Barclay MC 25k | Delta Gold Amex 40K | Discover IT 22K | CFNA FS 3600 | CareCredit 20k| PayPal Credit 10k |

Lowe's and once approved call and ask for $10k! Then garden those cards for 6 months and work on any baddies you have. Once you get EQ and EX over 675 I would check prequal for Amex and Chase and app Discover.

Are you talking about Lowe's Consumer CC?

and yes thats what my plan is, just work on these cards for 6 months or more and then apply for better cards.

Re: Barclaycard Rewards

Got approved for Lowes card with $300 limit. I was hoping it would be more than that lol

anyways I think I'm done applying for credit cards untill Feb 1st of next year.

I will garden these bad boys for now and work on my credit score. I only have one baddie on my report which should be taken care of soon.

Re: Barclaycard Rewards

Yes I'm talking Lowe's back by Synchrony. With TU being your strongest you have the opportunity to get a nice limit with a great store card that will grow really fast. Your scores aren't really ready for other prime lenders yet. But you have a good base to build on.

Re: Barclaycard Rewards

Ok. Only sp. Give it another month or two to establish history and let your new cards report. And call back. It grows very fast!! I was approved $1500, immediately called and got $12k. Two weeks later went to $17k. Good card!

Re: Barclaycard Rewards

Sounds good. Got a quick question. So 6 months I had to get secured USbank card with $300 (300 deposit) cap1 secured card with $500 (49 deposit) and then I have a secured card through my local bank 53 bank with $1000 deposit which I have had since 2010. Question is would it make sense for me to cancel all three or just cancel the us bank card since I have 300 tied in that and 53rd also has 1000 tied into but its an old account. Or keep the 53rd card?
