No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Hope all is well with everyone this morning, am new to the myFico boards but have been lurking for a while. Have been rebuilding from 2009 after BK, which finally fell off my CR's this January so now able to continue my credit journey.
Once BK fell off I went to CapOne pre-qual site and was pre-qual'd for high APR Venture @ 25.24%. This would be my first unbucketed card outside of the CapOne Platinum and CapOne Rewards which I have had for a while, always paid, but low CL's (total: 2500 between the two). Anyway, I decided to pull the trigger and I got the 7-10 day message. Finally decided to call a week and a half later and went through identity verification. That being said, they said the app would move to the next step. A few days later I tried to link a new card through the cap one dashboard and my new Venture pops up as an account. I was curious to see my credit line as I was expecting 5K or 10K, which would help my util obviously. They extended me a 30K SL. Anyway, very happy with my first major card and am looking to add more credit once my Venture hits my CR's and utilization adjusts...that point should be around >750 across all three CB's. Anyway, here are the DP's:
FICO 8
EQ: 730, EX: 702, TU 697
1 baddie 30day late payment >4years
AAoA: 8 yrs 6mths
CapOne Plat: 1650 CL (8 years)
CapOne Rewards: 850 CL (6 years)
Income: six figures
Anyway, this board is incredible and I look forward to people's thoughts on what my next cards should be...thinking WFVS and the new Marriott Boundless Visa Sig. One question: Does anyone know if there is a Visa Infinite offering in the new BonVoy portfolio? Really wanted The Ritz card, but heard it was discontinued.
Look forward to thoughtfully contributing.

That’s a killer SL!
Congratulations!!!
Huge congrats! That should certainly solve any utilization issues you may have had!

Congrats! If you are considering a Chase product keep in mind their 5/24 rule and apply accordingly. I would let that new Venture report for 6 months and try for the Sapphire Preferred. ![]()
Yeah, right now at 2/24. Was thinking about the new Marriott because I have a big trip in May and want to get the sub which would be attained during the trip. Thinking going the co-branded way with Chase might set me up for success with getting the CSR in a year. Thoughts?
Totally did, once that hits my report will be down to 6% util from 54% right now...should bump scores nicely.

Other than the JPM Ritz-Carlton CC (no longer available for new applications), there currently isn't a Visa Infinite tier for any of the BonVoy CCs.
