Re: Wanting to App Spree Need Help

I'm guessing 40k usage means the balance. I don't have to be a credit expert to know you shouldn't apply for any new cards and focus on getting that utilization down. Once you do that, that should help your score a bit and then go on a spree. I feel like right now you would just be sending out red flags to issuers.

If you're wanting to refinance your mortgage and take out a second, I would hold off on applying for anything until after those are closed.

 

What cards do you currently have, balances and CL?

 

You would have a better chance for higher limits if you bring down your utilization before applying.

Re: Wanting to App Spree Need Help

Agree with everyone so far. Bring down the utilization so you dont look desperate. If your income is high, getting high limits shouldnt be a problem. DTI will hit hard if you keep the utilization that high. Plenty of cards that can give initial high sl or cli afterwards.

Re: Wanting to App Spree Need Help

Amex, Cap1 and Discover are all SP CLI.  I would consider attempting those while working on your refinance.

 

Do you have derogatory items on your reports?  I noticed you have Credit One and First Premier.

 

After closing, you could consider the Cap1 Venture and another Amex revolver.
