What are some good cards for my profile?

Hey guys!

 

I'm 18 years old, I'm a freshman college student studying Engineering at a top 10 Engineering School & I'm looking for my first higher end card, preferably something with international airport lounge access and travel rewards. 

 

My profile looks something like this:

 

FICO score: 776

Annual Income: $10,000

Citi Simplicity: $6,400

Amex Everyday: $2,000

(University) Federal Credit Union: $1,000

Barclaycard Arrival Mastercard: $900

Chase Slate: $600

Discover it for College Students: $500

 

Which cards (if any) could I qualify for?

 

Thanks in advance,

Roach16

How long is your overall credit history?

My average credit history is about 4.77 years according to credit karma. 6 years 4 months on one card.

What card did you have at 12 years old? Lol. Or were you an AU on your parent's AmEx?

Interesting..

 

Though your current limits are a bit small..

I would work on some SP CLI's before apping for anything or you'll just likely continue the cycle of toy limits.

I'm an AU on my dad's Citi card. It's his **bleep**tiest card so he just said "Whatever, use it for emergencies" and I got added on, Haha.

Since I do international travel about twice a year, which cards do you think would be best to gain airport lounge access?

+1, once you decide on a card I would heed this advice and try for CLI's on existing cards first. This is exactly what I dont want to see when I apply for Arrival >>> Barclaycard Arrival Mastercard: $900. What is one to do with a $900 limit no FTF travel card? Smiley Frustrated Didnt even realize they issued limits this low for Arrival

Many cards offer airport lounge access, just depends on how much youre willing to pay as an annual fee for the convenience. Im sure there is a card that offers it with no annual fee, but none spring to mind at the moment.  

 

But for what its worth, my girlfriend is watching a show called "Extreme Cheapskates" and I'm two scotch's in just so I can deal with the pain of watching this show. What I'm trying to say is, Im not at the top of my game at this moment.
