I currently have a Capitol one rewards card at 10% and a BOA 1-2-3 rewards card at 10% also. I have no car payments or mortage payments. Will it affect my score if I apply for a new card? My avg account age is about 2 years.


yes

 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Re: Credit Limit Increase

Applying for new credit will affect your score. Asking for CLI's that result in a Hp will affect your score. How long or how much is hard to say.

Re: Credit Limit Increase

If you are thinking about a mortgage it is strongly suggested to NOT add any TL's until your mortgage closes.

If you are planning a mortgage you should not be applying for any cards
