Got approved for Firestone Store Card!!

First new unsecured credit/store card in 7 years. Took the plunge. This is pretty much just a credit builder and "oh crap" car problems.

 

FICO scores in signature. Keep in mind I have a charge-off lingering that stopped reporting two years ago, but it's still there.

 

For the Firestone card, they only pulled my TransUnion. I'll post an update in a few months, but so far it seems like a great credit building card.

Congrats. This card isn't talked about much on here, so I'm sure datapoints would be appreciated by someone.

Congrats! Next month my Summit/Car Care store will turn 2 years old, and it helped springboard my credit profile to a whole 'nother level. That Firestone card sounds like a great starter card!

Congrats on the approval! 

 

I got this card last September they pulled TU not sure which version but my FICO 8 at the time was around 590. Starting limit $900. 1 inquiry on my TU report at time of app from the previous January. 6 months promotional financing, great coupons and 5% off all purchases. It really is a great builder card cause u generally get decent limits for low scores, no AF and they report regularly to all three. Only thing, I haven't used it yet! I was gonna get tires but I passed and I don't want to waste my promo financing. Its on your first purchase so there's no time limit as to when I have to use it (I'm pretty sure, they remind me I still have it Everytime I log on) but like I said there is really no other cards people can get in the 500s with a decent limit, no AF and perks. I definitely recommend to any car owner trying to build credit.

Current 2023 FICO 8 score - 760 (EX) 758 (TU) 762 (EQ) (FICO 9s seem to be significantly higher)
Starting score - 530
Discover it - $4,200
Citi Custom Cash - $6,600
CFNA Firestone - $3,200
Amex BCE - $2,500
Mission Lane - $1,100
Chase slate (AU) - $3,000
Chase Freedom Flex - $11,100
Lowes Advantage card - $10,000
PNC poop points- $4,500
2 student loans 93% paid off
AMEX loan only 7% paid off so far
Total current Utilization among all accounts- 20%

Re: Got approved for Firestone Store Card!!

Great insight! They approved me for $1,600 with a F8 TU score of 662. I'm guessing the bar to entry is pretty low. Rare in unsecured cards nowadays.
