how many inquires and new accounts do you have in the last 3 months?!

I have 7 new inquires and 5 new accouts in the last month or so. Just got accepted into Navy Federal but im scared to app for CCs after hearing about amex and cap1 closing accounts for to many inquires and new accounts. my new accounts added were;

 

Amex bce 11,000 

amex delta 15000

lowes 17000

barclays 6000

 

1 other inquire from barclays and 1 other inquire from Amex plus NFCU just pulled my credit to open my new account. Suggestions on to wait it out or app right away? My fico scores are 706 transunion 706 equalfax 690 experian. Thanks

I don't think it looks too bad. I have 5 new accounts in the last 2 weeks and 3 of those are AMEX. Maybe 5-7 inqs on each CR to boot. I would go for it. Besides, Barclays will CLD you to $100 within a month anyway. Might as well head them off at the pass.

5 Inqs since the start of the year. Seven new accounts in that timeframe ... eight if you count my mortgage. Mortgage began in January, hard pulls on it were in October and then again in December.

Re: how many inquires and new accounts do you have in the last 3 months?!

I have 7 new accounts in the last three month to match my 7 inquiries for doing so.  Overall I have about 15 inquiries or a few more for other cards I opened in the last 1.5 years.

 

 

The worst limit I got from them was $500 with US Bank, the best limit I got was Wells Fargo with $15,000.  US Bank was by far the lowest limit.  Totally I got more than $50,000.  

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.....
Always follow these rules: Only take a HP for a new account. Always use the best rewards card for that reward category. Don't close a card unless you know you really should. Never use more than 35% of a credit limit. Recon as much and as best you can. Use the introductory period to the best advantage. Get the signup bonus. Whenever possible PIF or balance transfer so you pay less in interest. Never give an excellent rating when it is actually the norm. Always look for a discount as more is always better.
Always accept candy from strangers because they have the best candy or from people you know have good candy.

Just said what the hell with it and applied for the cash rewards, got the typical 24hour response. About an hour later i got a text saying I have been approved. 17,500k limit, not the 25k i was hoping for. Should i try my luck and app for the CCLOC or another CC? LOL

I would wait for six months and use my new CL's well then apply for another card. Good luck whatever you do.
