No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
My oldest credit card (according to the bureaus) was opened in January. I also have had a chase bank account that I don't touch often, as I keep everything in another account. I opened the Chase account (student account = free) back in May for the bonus and to have a local bank since my other account is in a digital bank. I was reading that having a bank account with chase greatly increases your chances.
What are my odds for applying and getting approved for the Chase Freedom?
Credit Karma: 733 TransUnion, 717 Equifax
FICO 8: 715 TransUnion
Income: Student (~$16,000)
Credit Cards:
I'll check to see if I prequalify. The PayPal Credit was never supposed to report to the credit bureaus but with the recent acquisition by Synchrony, it now does. Was not anticipating that, so put me into a sticky place with my 5/24 number. Definitely have to get my feet wet with a Chase card right away.
4 cards 1 year......
I wouldn't. I would wait until the youngest hits a year and then tackle Chase or anyone else. Moving too fast will have unpleasant results.

Relationship does help, ALOT. did you try looking on your phone/CPU portals to see if you prequalify. Secondly you can also go to a branch to talk to a rep directly to see if any offers exist with your account. Definitely want to look at for chase 5/24 rule(no more than 5 cards in 24mths) as you are sitting right there......Good lunch my friend
Hey Who Dat,
CPU portals <-- What Dat?
